Real Madrid playmaker James Rodriguez has signed for Bayern Munich on a two-year loan deal.
Rodriguez will have a medical with the German giants before completing his move to the Allianz Arena.
Bayern will also have an option to buy the Colombia international permanently at the end of the loan deal on June 30, 2019.
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge expressed his delight at the capture of the 25-year-old - revealing that he was manager Carlo Ancelotti's main priority this summer: 'We're delighted we've been able to complete this transfer,' he told the club's official website.
'Signing James Rodríguez was our coach Carlo Ancelotti's biggest wish, following their successful spell working together in Madrid.
James is a very versatile player. He's a goalscorer himself, he sets up a lot of goals and on top of that he's great from set-pieces. There's no question that this transfer further increases the quality in our team.
