James Rodriguez is attracting interest from the Premier League
ARSENAL, Liverpool and Chelsea have all received boosts in their pursuit of James Rodriguez.
All three Premier League clubs have been linked with a move for the Real Madrid star in recent weeks.
Juventus were also thought to be showing interest in the Colombian, but the Serie A club's chief executive Giuseppe Marotta has ruled out a move.
He said: "James? There's almost no chance."
And with Juventus pulling out of the race, the Premier League trio now have a greater chance of signing him.
Rodriguez's future is thought to be uncertain at the Bernabeu after falling down the pecking order under Zinedine Zidane.
The 25-year-old is struggling to secure himself a place in the starting XI with Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro all impressing.
A move to Juventus would also seem unlikely following the arrivals of Gonzalo Higuain, Miralem Pjanic and Marko Pjaca this summer.
Express Sport understands Chelsea have already made a £60m bid for Rodriguez as Antonio Conte looks to bring in another midfielder.
Arsenal and Liverpool are also keen to bring in attacking additions before the transfer window shuts.
