James decides he wants to leave Real

The 25-year-old could be just 48 hours from leaving the Bernabeu. James has decided he wants out and he wants out now, with Real set to fly out to the USA to start their pre-season plans on Tuesday.

Having decided 100% that he wants to leave the club, James is now in a rush to do so and according to 'AS', the player's agent, Jorge Mendes, has already been in contact with the three clubs that have shown an interest in the player as he looks to advance the deal.

Real President Florentino Perez would rather keep the player at the club as he trusts him and perhaps more importantly he has a big impact commercially in Colombia. But it seems that the player has decided to leave. 

The three clubs that are believed to be pursuing the Colombian are French giants PSG and English pair Chelsea and Manchester United.

James featured in just 33 or Real's 60 games last season and will now almost certainly leave the Spanish capital by Tuesday. If no deal is done by then, it is understood that the player will stay in Madrid to negotiate with interested parties, rather than fly out to the USA with his team-mates.
