James Rodriguez likes the idea of returning to Everton

Former

and

midfielder

James Rodriguez

who left Goodison Park to join

last year has talked about a possible return to the Premier League side, insisting that Everton is a spectacular club although he was forced to leave the Toffees by their former manager Rafa

Benitez

.

James has said during a discussion on

:

"Go back to Everton one day? Of course I would go back to Everton. It's a spectacular club with incredible fans, but I found a coach who didn't want to count on me.

"I wanted to stay there but the manager didn't want to count on me. Until the last day I was super-professional and I trained to the fullest.

"I wanted to be remembered as I am, a good person and a great professional. It was the coach's decision. Some people love you and others don't, you have to respect that."

He had such a good spell at Everton that even their striker

questioned their head coach’s decision.

He has told

of sales sanctioned by the Toffees:

“When I arrived from the Olympics, I was surprised at how much he (James) was running and dedicating himself to training, training well.

“And out of nowhere, the coach (Benitez) said he didn’t count on him any more. And nobody understood anything.

“So I think that also weighed a little on the group. Because we know about James’ quality. Also from [Lucas] Digne, who we ended up losing. So it weighs, it weighs. Like it or not, it weighs on the group.

“We had a united group there and ended up losing two important players. So I think that’s it. James, we wish him all the best.

“And that’s it. We lost Bernard too, who was an important player.

“And it’s like I said, we had everything to reach the Europa League or the Champions League and we lose players so easily. Lose players through injury too. It ends up making competition difficult.”
