REAL MADRID - MONACO SHUT JAMES RODRIGUEZ TRANSFER ?

I realize that the following news piece will excite many Real Madrid fans around the World, however it is not official & is still in the speculation realm. Spanish Sports daily "AS" announce today that REAL MADRID & MONACO have come to an agreement to transfer JAMES RODRIGUEZ to the Spanish Football Club. The transfer figure "dances" between 75-80M€ & it is not clear if a Real Madrid player will be included in the operation to lower the price further. Monaco likes Real Madrid goalkeeper Diego Lopez, but the player is not keen to move. 

However, with player or without player, these sources speculate that the official announcement could be made in the coming days with a presentation in Madrid mid-end of this week. This will need to be confirmed.

Negotiations between Clubs have been ongoing & non-stop over the weekend. The player was meant to be with his team, Monaco, yesterday in Barranquilla (Colombia) & today in Miami with his side. However, James Rodriguez took a plane to Niza (France) with a technical stop-over in Madrid yesterday. Everything indicates that the player is currently in Monaco to shut the "fine details" of the transfer & later officially say good-bye to the Monaco fan-base.

If the news is correct & James Rodriguez transfers to Real Madrid, the Colombian will join his new team the 1st of August for pre-season.

Stay tuned!
