Real Madrid to pay £35m for James Rodriguez return

Real Madrid are reportedly contemplating paying £35m to recall James Rodriguez from his loan spell at Bayern Munich. Los Blancos have so far failed to find a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. The Spanish giants will discuss whether it makes sense to pay out for Rodriguez to be available to Julen Lopetegui for the current campaign, according to EL Paris. The European champions allowed Rodriguez to join Bayern on a two-year loan deal last summer, and it was expected that the attacker would remain at the Allianz Arena until 2019.
