The 2017 agreement between the two clubs includes an option for Bayern to make the deal permanent in July 2019, if they pay a reported 37m in addition to the 11.5m loan fee.Napoli remain confident they can strike a deal for the Colombian striker over the summer, with their current boss Carlo Ancelotti striking up a great relationship with Rodriguez during their time together at both Madrid and Bayern.That was particularly the case during the 2014/15 campaign when the former Monaco man struck 13 goals and contributed as many assists in just 29 La Liga games.
