James Rodriguez fever as Real Madrid sell 345,000 replica shirts in just 48 hours! That's 20M back

Real Madrid are well on the way to recouping the £60 million they splashed out on new Galactico James Rodriguez, selling an estimated 345,000 'James' shirts worldwide in just 48 hours since he was unveiled in front of the adoring fans.
According to Spanish paperSport ,Euromericas Sport Marketing have calculated that the 345,000 shirt sales, that's roughly 7,188 an hour, have raised a staggering £21 million to repay a third of the transfer fee already.
Real have never struggled to sell the replica shirts of their Galactico stars but the signing of World Cup star James Rodriguez has generated immediate excitement amongst their fans.
The Colombian was a good draw on Tuesday, as the Bernabeu was packed with 44,000 Madrid fans for his presentation and 900 jerseys with his name adorning them were sold within an hour at the club shop while the player was fulfilling media commitments.
Extra staff were drafted in to deal with the excessive demand for the new No 10 shirt as the club shop sold the shirts at a rate of 15 a minute.
The Colombian forward dazzled at the World Cup in Brazil, winning the Golden Boot with some spectacular goals and it's evident he'll be a fan favorite this season alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale at the Bernabeu.
