real madrid: james rodriguez move to bayern munic

James Rodriguez has broken his silence after completing a sensational loan move to Bayern Munich this week.

The Colombian joined Real Madrid for a fee of £71million back in the summer of 2014 but struggled for regular game-time at the Bernabeu under Zinedine Zidane last season.

On Tuesday, Rodriguez’s two-year loan deal with Bayern was confirmed despite speculation linking the 25-year-old with Premier League giants Manchester United and Chelsea in recent months.

Just hours after the move was announced, Rodriguez tweeted: ‘Dear Madridistas I am overwhelmed with gratitude after three wonderful years proudly wearing this shirt.

‘I have love in my heart.’

Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has said

that Rodriguez’s was Carlo Ancelotti’s number one target this summer.

‘Signing James Rodríguez was our coach Carlo Ancelotti’s biggest wish,’ he said.
