Most people had written off James Rodríguez after he had managed to play in the Premier League, Qatar league, in Greece, plus the Brazilian league over the past four years. Then the Colombian made his mark as the most valuable player in the 2024 Copa America. This meant a return to Europe and La Liga, but six months later, Rodriguez was again on the move. The lack of playing time at Rayo Vallecano sent Rodriguez to Leòn and Mexico in 2025. A little over a month into 2026, the 34-year-old is reported to be in agreement with a new club, this time in Donald Trump’s playground.
According to Juan Salvador Barcena on the YouTube channel ‘Habla Deportes’, a source close to the negotiations claimed that the requirement for Rodriguez to sign with Club León, in addition to housing and transport, was 14 bodyguards and 14 bodyguards. We wonder what this requirement is when Rodriguez as a Colombian now takes his family to Minnesota and the United States… Doubled?
