Real Madrid have confirmed the signing of Colombian forward James Rodriguez from Monaco.
Rodriguez, who won the Golden Boot at this summer's World Cup, has penned a six-year contract with the European champions.
Los Blancos will present Rodriguez at 20:00 CET at the Bernabeu.
Neither Monaco nor Real Madrid have confirmed the fee to be paid for the 23-year-old, but it is thought to be between €75m and €80m.
Monaco splashed out €45m to sign Rodriguez from FC Porto just last summer, but have quickly realised a profit on the forward.
