Bayern Munich has signed midfielder James Rodriguez from Real Madrid on a two-year loan deal, the German champions said on Tuesday.
The 25-year-old Colombia international made 22 La Liga appearances for Real last season, scoring eight goals, and featured six times in the Champions League.

Rodriguez moved to Real Madrid from Monaco for a reported £60 million 2014 after winning the Golden Boot as the leading scorer at the World Cup.
His ability to score spectacular goals made him an ideal addition to Real’s “Galacticos” project, but he struggled to nail down a regular starting place at the Bernabeu.
