Real Madrid midfielder and rumoured Arsenal and Chelsea target James Rodriguez is reportedly house-hunting in Turin ahead of a potential move to Juventus.

Real Madrid attacker James Rodriguez is reportedly closing in on a move to Juventus.

The Colombian international has been linked with a switch away from the Bernabeu this summer having struggled for playing time under Zinedine Zidane at the Spanish champions.

The likes of Arsenal and Chelsea have recently been credited with an interest in the 25-year-old, but Juventus now appear to be leading the race for his signature as they look for a replacement for Paul Pogba.

James is reportedly house-hunting in Turin in preparation for the move, while officials from the two clubs are understood to have met today to discuss a possible deal.

Zidane has previously insisted that James is going nowhere this summer, although the player himself is thought to be keen on a move away.
