Former Real Madrid and Bayern Munich midfielder James Rodriguez, known for his brilliant performances for European giants, has opened a new chapter in his career. The 34-year-old Colombian will now play in the MLS - he signed a contract with "Minnesota United."
According to the source, the agreement is scheduled for June 2026. The most interesting thing is that the contract also includes a clause allowing it to be extended until December 2026. So, this isn't a "month-long visit," both the club and the player are building plans from a distance.
James's final destination was reportedly "León" in Mexico. Throughout his career, he has tested himself in various leagues: Porto, Monaco, Everton - each of these has become a "school of experience" in James's biography.
Spot of interest for Uzbekistan fans
This transfer is interesting for us for another reason: it was mentioned that Colombia is in the same group with Uzbekistan in the 2026 World Cup, and the teams will meet in the first round itself. That is, James's form, game practice, and mood are details that directly affect us.
In short, just because James left for MLS doesn't mean he's "slowing down." Conversely, if they gain regular playing time, another strong move could be added to the Colombian national team before the 2026 World Cup. For the fans, all that remains is to watch the opponent more closely before that big clash in the first round.
