Real Madrid Transfer News: Ancelotti to sign James Rodriguez

After a comparatively quiet transfer window, Real Madrid are set to announce signing of James Rodriguez from AS Monaco.

Rodriguez is said to be joining Real Madrid.

Real Madrid are set to announce signing of James Rodriguez from AS Monaco in few days. The world cup Golden Boot winner bagged six goals in World Cup, which meant Madrid were forced to offer a big money to Monaco to lure him to Santiago Bernabau. The Colombian had already admitted that playing for club as big as Real Madrid was his dream and looks like it is coming true. As per the rumors, Madrid has reserved kit no. 10 for the Colombian.

Real Madrid sold Alvaro Morata to Juventus for a deal of €20 million. Although Morata signed five year contract with the Italian champions, Real Madrid have put a buy back clause in the deal. This means Madrid are only with one out and out striker in name of Kareme Benzema and will go into the market for more reinforcements.

Real Madrid have already bought Toni Kroos for Bayern Munich for €24 million and have handed him the number 8 shirt. Toni Kroos joins the already packed midfield which means rumors of Sami Khedira leaving might come true. CCasemiro has left to FC Porto on loan and Illaramendi is also said to be on the move.
