Atletico Madrid are moving for Real Madrid attacker James Rodriguez.

Marca says James could become an unlikely, but sensational, move for Atletico as the club close to seal a transfer that will bring him to the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.

The Colombian wants to stay and live in Madrid, while Los Rojiblancos are fond of the player's quality, he himself is keen on the move across town.

Atletico are close to completing James' signing from Real Madrid, with his current club the only obstacle standing in the way.

Having spent the last two seasons on loan at Bayern Munich, James isn't part of Zinedine Zidane's plans at Real Madrid and Los Blancos are willing to cash in on him this summer.
