“Of course we’re worried,” he told a news conference when asked about Bale. “The important thing is to know if he’s happy or not. The person who is happy off the pitch is also happy on it.

In the 2014-15 season they were two of the first names on the team-sheet. Carlo Ancelotti was the manager and with Gareth Bale out injured, he was playing 4-4-2 with James, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Isco behind Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. It was working well, too. That was the team for much of the incredible run of 22 straight wins. When Bale returned Madrid switched back to 4-3-3 and James and Isco took turns to sit out.
The presence of Isco is the squad is seen as an obstacle by James, according to the report. The former Malaga midfielder only has 1 year remaining on his contract, and has suspended talks of a renewal, leading to Real Madrid considering a sale.
