Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has reaffirmed their interest in Real Madrid attacker James Rodriguez.

However, the movie mogul admits Real's asking price is too steep for him.

De Laurentiis told AS: "James is the most publicised player after Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

"He wants to play with us in Naples but Real Madrid is asking too much."

Just this week, James' stepfather encouraged him to stay in the city and sign for Atletico Madrid.
