Colombian superstar James Rodriguez – winner of this year’s Golden Boot as the top goal scorer in the World Cup – has cashed in on his outstanding performance showcased last month in Brazil. James’ World Cup ended with a tearful loss to Brazil, but his transfer deal to Real Madrid should help cheer him up.
The 23-year old winger/midfielder has reportedly agreed to join Real Madrid from his former club, AS Monaco, on a blockbuster transfer deal believed to exceed $100 million. Rodriguez’s new deal is for six years.
