The Champions League winners have secured
the services of the Colombia international on a
six-year deal, ending speculation that has been
bubbling since the World Cup
Real Madrid have announced on their official website
that they have completed the transfer of James
Rodriguez from Monaco for a reputed fee of €88 million.
The Liga giants had been linked with a move for the
creative midfielder ever since he impressed at the World
Cup and the Colombian has now signed a contract until
the summer of 2020 with the Santiago Bernabeu club
after passing his medical.
James started his professional career with Envigado and
also wore the Banfield and Porto jerseys before joining
Monaco for €45m last year.
He impressed in his first season at the Ligue 1 side,
scoring nine goals in 34 league appearances to help
Monaco to second place in the table and qualification for
the Champions League.
The attacking midfielder was also one of the stars of the
2014 World Cup as he picked up the Golden Boot and
the Goal of the Tournament award following his sublime
performances for Colombia, earning himself a move to
Madrid in the process.
James is the Bernabeu side's second signing of the
summer transfer window after the previous capture of
Toni Kroos from Bayern Munich and will be presented to
the world at 20:00CET on Tuesday.
The arrival of the Colombia star likely means the end of
Isco's spell at Madrid, with Liverpool and Manchester City
keeping a close eye on his situation in the Spanish capital.
