Real Madrid give Man Utd green light for James

Real Madrid are prepared to cut their losses and allow James Rodriguez to join Manchester United for £50 million.

Los Blancos brought in the 24-year-old for £56 million after his impressive performances at the 2014 World Cup, but are prepared to let him leave just two years on for a smaller sum.  

Fresh reports have emerged that the midfielder has put his Madrid house on the market, and is looking for a property in Manchester, after falling down the pecking order in the Spanish capital under Zinedine Zidane.

Following the Champions League victory James revealed he wanted to remain at the Santiago Bernabeu despite his lack of game time, however Jose Mourinho has asked their shared agent, Jorge Mendes, to push through a deal.
