James Rodriguez to Juventus: Real Madrid ace house-hunting in Turin as he closes in on move to Italian champions

Real estate company Proto Group Ltd have revealed that the out-of-favour Colombian is on the look out in the city

Real Estate company Proto Group Ltd have said that the Colombian's representatives have been in touch.

A statement read: "Representatives of James Rodriguez will this [Wednesday] afternoon be in Turin to confirm the renting of a villa in the city.

"For several weeks, we have been commissioned by the player to find a suitable home in Turin, and today we will close the deal."

Rodriguez is set to be the latest big money addition to join Juve this summer as they continue to spend after selling Paul Pogba for a world-record £109million to Manchester United.
