Real Madrid Transfer News: Latest on Rodrigo Bentancur, James Rodriguez Rumours

Real Madrid are reportedly on the brink of adding Uruguayan sensation Rodrigo Bentancur to their ranks. Plus, Los Blancos could lose James Rodriguez to Manchester United following news that talks have been opened between the two clubs.

Boca Juniors midfielder Bentancur has been tightly linked with Los Merengues in the past three weeks, and Jose Felix Diaz of Spanish daily Marca wrote his €10 million (£7.6 million) move could go through imminently.

According to Diaz, the teenage playmaker wasn't initially jumping for joy at the thought of joining Real's Castilla academy, having already made 19 senior appearances for Argentinian giants Boca.
