Former Everton and Real Madrid midfielder James Rodriguez admits he's ready to leave Al Rayyan.

James says he's eyeing a return to Europe after a season in Qatar.

"Europe? The transfer market will open soon, we'll see. Where they want me, I go," said James.

"Returning to elite football is a serious opportunity, let's see who wants my left foot again."

James has a deal with Al Rayyan to 2024.
