In an interview with Apple TV reporters following the 2-2 draw against Austin FC, Rodriguez dismissed these rumors as baseless. According to him, such false reports are spread solely to create hype and gain likes on social media.
"Only I know when I will retire, and I will announce it in advance. For now, I see myself playing for several more years. I am taking good care of my body and working hard in training," said the experienced midfielder.
With his contract at Minnesota United expiring, the player will now focus on the Colombia national team's preparations for the World Cup. His final match is expected to be on Wednesday against the Colorado Rapids.
