"Spanish press reports that Madrid's "Real" and "Monaco" have reached an agreement for the transfer of world championship star James Rodriguez to the "white" ranks.
It is announced that the 23-year-old midfielder himself asked Monaco club management to be sold, and the Colombian is already on his way to Madrid. However, "Real" president Florentino Perez will have to significantly open his wallet.
"Monaco" initially wanted to receive as much as 115 million euros for the footballer, but it seems that the final price will be 80 million euros. J.Rodriguez himself will earn 7 million euros per year at the royal club and will sign a seven-year contract.
It is almost certain that in the new team, the Colombian will replace Angel Di Maria, who no longer wants to play in Madrid and is spreading his wings towards Paris Saint-Germain. F.Perez will receive a significant sum for the Argentine, which will cover the acquisition of J.Rodriguez. The French will not spare 60 million euros for the 26-year-old A.Di Maria.
According to several Spanish sources, J.Rodriguez will officially become a "Real" player on the upcoming Monday or Tuesday."
