According to Don Balon, Real Madrid are planning to sell Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez this summer to fund a £100m deal with Manchester United for goalkeeper David De Gea.
James joined Bayern Munich on a two-season loan last summer and has impressed in his debut campaign at the Allianz-Arena, contributing 18 goals in 33 games in all competitions.
The 26-year-old could join Bayern on a permanent deal for a fixed price, of which money Real president Florentino Perez plans to use in a deal for De Gea.
United’s £200k-per-week stopper has been linked with Los Blancos since 2012 and nearly made the switch to the Santiago Bernabéu in 2015 but for late papers being submitted.
