James Rodriguez's Alleged Real Madrid Contract Details Leaked Amid Exit Rumours

James Rodriguez could reportedly end up costing Real Madrid €90 million (£72 million), €15 million (£12 million) more than the initial €75 million (£60 million) fee they paid Monaco for the Colombian in 2014.

Whistle-blowing website Football Leaks (via Goal's Greg Lea) has provided documents that appear to show the transfer agreement drawn up between Real and Monaco for James, which reveals a number of add-ons.

These include a €1 million bonus every time Real qualify for the UEFA Champions League from the 2014-15 season—payable for six years and a maximum of five times.

Additionally, Real are bound to pay Monaco €5 million if James, 24, is nominated for the Ballon d'Or in the six seasons following 2014/15—payable only once—and the same amount again if he wins the prestigious award.

Thus, Los Blancos could be liable to pay an extra €15 million if all criteria are met, potentially making James the third-most expensive player ever.

However, there is no guarantee the former Porto playmaker will remain at Real long enough for all the add-ons to kick in.

Rumours have abounded of late that Real could be prepared to let him go this summer, with Manchester United named as a key suitor, per El Confidencial (via Metro's George Bellshaw).

James has been quite poor this season, failing to improve on a promising debut campaign at the Santiago Bernabeu and netting only five times in 19 appearances this term, per WhoScored.com.

He recently made a not-so-subtle hint he is not getting enough support at Real following two excellent performances for Colombia in World Cup qualifying, per Spanish outlet Sport: "If things are going well for Colombia, it’s because I am playing. When you have everyone’s support, you notice."

James' opportunities this season have been restricted at Real, and he was left out of the Clasico victory over Barcelona on Saturday by manager Zinedine Zidane.

Football writer Miguel Delaney suggested his move from Monaco to Real in 2014 was never a sensible one as he was not going to be the main man at Real:

Indeed, with Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema the key trio at Real—see below for analysis of BBC's Clasico contribution by Bleacher Report's Sam Tighe—James was never likely to be the No. 1 star:

He has the price tag of a superstar, but his future at Real is in doubt. He would undoubtedly be the main man if he were to move to United, and a switch to Old Trafford may benefit his career in the long run.
