Juventus make James approach

Juventus have reportedly held negotiations with Real Madrid over a possible summer move for James Rodriguez. The Colombian international has had a tough time at the Bernabeu this season, and this has led to suggestions that he could be offloaded in the summer.

James, 24, linked up with the Spanish giants from AS Monaco last season, and had a fruitful spell in the first-team netting 17 goals in all competitions.

However, he has had a dismal second year with the Bernabeu outfit and currently finds himself out-of-favour under manager Zinedine Zidane.

The likes of Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with potential moves for the Colombian, but according to Corriere dello Sport the Old Lady are the first side to make a formal approach for the player's signature.

The talented attacker has made just 16 league starts for Los Blancos this season.
