James Rodriguez would like to remain with Real Madrid after a season in which he fell out of Zinedine Zidane's plans.

James was signed by Real Madrid from Monaco in 2014.

"In football you never know but I want to continue here and my idea is to have many more years with the club," he told reporters.

"I am happy here. All the people close to me are happy too. It's the ideal club and I want to be here."

James didn't play in the Champions League Final.

"Yes, I would have liked to play but I did contribute to the team's success," he added. "They were all good and it was a very good Champions League victory."

He said his season had been a "bit strange" but added: "When you have bad times you also learn from them. Each day I learn more."
