Columbian superstar James Rodriguez has finally sealed his multi-million pound deal to Real Madrid today for a staggering £63 million. Rodriguez, who is now the fourth most expensive player on the planet will line up alongside Bale and Ronaldo (Most expensive and second expensive player respectively) to make it a star studded team of Galactico's for the new season in La Liga. James Rodriguez, who is only 22 years old has left Monaco after his dazzling displays in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The classy midfielder scored the goal of the tournament and collected the Golden Boot after his six goals for Columbia and two assists. Madrid, who have also recently sealed the deal for Tony Kroos, will head into the new season with one of the most talented sides in football history. In another amazing statistic from last season, Rodriguez, who has also played for Porto, created an incredible 85 chances in total for Monaco where Gareth Bale and Ronaldo created 87 chances between them for Real last season. One thing for certain is that Rodriguez will relish his role in the Champions League and aim to keep impressing on the worlds stage after such sublime displays for his national team. Do you think James Rodriguez is worth the £63m transfer fee? Will he help or hinder Bale and Ronaldo's performances for Real next season?
