The Colombia international looks as though he could be swapping Spain for the French capital this summer.

Paris Saint-Germain are in advanced talks to sign Real Madrid's James Rodriguez, according to Yahoo.

The attacking midfielder had been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United, with the Spanish giants giving him the green light to make the switch. It has also been claimed that he had even begun house-hunting in Manchester, after putting his Spanish home on the market

However, since the arrival of Unai Emery at Parc des Princes, the 24-year-old has been linked with a move to Ligue 1, with the Parisian club on a massive spending spree, signing Hatem Ben Arfa, Thomas Meunier and Grzegorz Krychowiak in the past week.

James has fallen down the pecking order with los Blancos, so should the French champions launch a bid of around £50 million it is expected that Real Madrid would let him leave.
