James Rodríguez is about to write a new chapter in his career. The talented Colombian attacking midfielder has come to an agreement to terminate his contract with Rayo Vallecano, the club he joined last summer.
However, the lack of playing time and prominence under the orders of Iñigo Pérez has led the player to seek new horizons. All signs point to his next destination being Club León in Liga MX, which has reportedly already agreed on terms.
The former Real Madrid player, 33 years old, had only played seven games so far this season, contributing one assist in the Copa del Rey. These numbers do not meet the expectations generated by his arrival, which ultimately results in the decision of both parties to part ways.
Although Boca Juniors initially seemed like the most likely destination, León has taken the lead and convinced the Colombian to join their project.
As reported by MARCA México, James will land in Mexico in the coming days, although he will miss the first rounds of the Clausura. Still, his addition is a significant boost for León, aiming to bolster their squad with an internationally renowned figure.
And for those of you who are wondering, Club León has a lion in its logo.
For the attacking midfielder, this will be a new opportunity to showcase his talent and once again become the influential player who dazzled in Europe and for the Colombian national team.
