The Champions League winners have
secured the services of the Colombia
international on a six-year deal
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 James 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.
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.
