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 €80 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.
