Bayern Munich 'sign' James Rodriguez
According to Spanish paper Marca, James Rodriguez will finally complete his move from Real Madrid to Bayern Munich this summer.
James left the Santiago Bernabeu last summer to move to the Allianz Arena.
The Colombian star agreed to join Bayern in a two-year loan deal with provisions for a permanent deal.
Despite the fact that it's still less than one year into that loan deal, Bayern Munich are ready to sign James. Marca report:
James Rodriguez has impressed so far during his time at Bayern Munich and the Bavarian club's directors have already decided that they will pay the purchase option of 42 million euros which was included in the Colombian's two-year loan deal.
(Bayern will) make the transfer permanent, meaning Real Madrid will have earned over 50m euros from the whole operation.
