Real
Madrid have officially unveiled new £60million signing James Rodriguez
after they completed the transfer of the World Cup Golden Boot winner
from Monaco on Tuesday.
The Colombia international has agreed
a six-year contract with Madrid and underwent his medical with the club
on Tuesday morning before being displayed in front of a crowd at the
Santiago Bernabau.
Madrid president Florentino Perez welcomed the
forward and compared him to the late legend of the club, Alfredo Di
Stefano who also came to the club from Colombia.

'Colombia will be at your side,' said Perez, which raised a cheer from the fans in the stadium.
Rodriguez said: 'I hope to win many titles here, Hala Madrid,' invoking the club's chant.
Neither
club have confirmed the fee for the 23-year-old, but reports suggest
Madrid have paid about £60million, which would make Rodriguez the fourth
most expensive transfer of all time after Gareth Bale, Cristiano
Ronaldo and Luis Suarez.
