Former Real Madrid midfielder James Rodríguez is on the verge of leaving Rayo Vallecano, where he arrived only at the end of August. However, the Colombian will not continue his career in Europe.
Details: According to As, James is set to sign a contract with Mexican side León. A "multi-million dollar deal" has reportedly been agreed, and his return to Latin America is now just a matter of time.
The contract will run until the end of the year, as James aims to regain form ahead of the 2026 World Cup. He is expected to make his debut for León on January 18 in a Liga MX match against Atlas.
Reminder: Reports previously indicated that James was actively seeking a new club to get back in shape. His stint at Rayo Vallecano didn’t work out, as he made only seven appearances since his arrival in late August.
