Real Madrid announce signing of World Cup star
Real Madrid have announced the signing Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez in a big-money deal with French club AS Monaco.
Rodriguez not only top-scored at the World Cup in Brazil but also scored the goal of the tournament with a stunning volley against Uruguay.
Neither club have confirmed the fee for the 23-year-old, but reports suggest Madrid have paid in the region of €80m (£63m), which would make Rodriguez the fourth most expensive transfer of all time after Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez.
