James Rodriguez officially belongs to Real

The reigning Champions League champions have just made their second blockbuster in this year's transfer market by bringing James Rodriguez to Bernabeu.

James Rodriguez.

The Colombian attacker was the top scorer at the 2014 World Cup with 6 goals. He was also awarded the FIFA award for the best goal with a volley against Uruguay in the round of 16.

With that impressive performance, the Colombian midfielder became the transfer target of the Spanish Royal team. After many days of negotiation, Real finally spent 88 million euros to bring James Rodriguez to the Bernabeu.

Last year, he moved from Porto to Monaco in France for 45 million euros. In 1 year playing in Ligue 1, James scored 9 goals in 34 appearances to help the principality team win a place in the Champions League after many years of waiting.

The transfer fee of 88 million euros from Monaco to Real makes James Rodriguez the third most expensive player in the history of world football transfers. Above him is the contract of Bale with the price of 100 million euros and Ronaldo (90 million euros).

The player born in 1991 has undergone a medical examination and signed a 6-year contract with Real Madrid. His salary is 7 million euros/season. He will wear the number 10 shirt at Real Madrid, the number that has been vacant since Mesut Oezil moved to Arsenal.

Thus, after Toni Kroos, Real Madrid continues to bring to Bernabeu another bright star, James Rodriguez. With the presence of James, midfielder Isco will most likely have to leave. Currently, Liverpool and Man City are closely monitoring Isco and are ready to rescue him from Real Madrid./.
