Real Madrid has secured a $107 million transfer with Monaco for James Rodríguez.
James scored six goals in five World Cup matches for Colombia after scoring nine and assisting 12 in Ligue 1 last season.
James becomes the fourth most expensive signing of all-time behind Gareth Bale and Cristiano to Real Madrid and Luis Suárez to Barcelona.
James went from Porto to Monaco just last summer for £35 million.
