Real Madrid playmaker James Rodriguez has signed for Bayern Munich on a two-year loan deal - in a move that reunites him with Italian manager Carlo Ancelotti.
Rodriguez will have a medical with the German giants before completing his move to the Allianz Arena - in a deal which could cost up to £40million.

Bayern will also have an option to buy the Colombia international permanently at the end of the loan deal on June 30, 2019. The initial loan will cost them £9m with another £31m on top of that, should they wish to make it a permanent one too.
