Colombia's World Cup star James Rodriguez has been pictured arriving at Barajas Airport amid speculation that he is close to signing for Real Madrid.
Reports earlier today had claimed that the 23-year-old had informed his current club Monaco of his desire to sign for the 10-time champions of Europe.
There has been no official word from either club, but following his presence, which has been captured by numerous shots on social media, in the Spanish capital this afternoon, it has been suggested that a deal is near to a conclusion.
