Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane cannot guarantee keeping hold of James Rodriguez.

The midfielder is interesting Napoli and Atletico Madrid.

I don't know if James is going to be in Madrid next season," Zidane told reporters after an Audi Cup defeat to Tottenham.

I'm not thinking about this situation now. I'm here thinking about the Audi Cup.

We are here and the players are the ones I have. You don't have to go around it again. Until the end of August things can change."

Asked about the absence of Gareth Bale from the squad, he added: "He didn't travel because he wasn't fit. After speaking with the doctors, the best thing was for him to stay in Madrid. He stayed back and is training there. It was a joint decision between the player, medical staff and the coach."
