James Rodriguez is still a free agent, and there’s a lot of talk about his future. A report from Marca says the Colombian star couldn’t find a team in Mexico, so he might head to the MLS.
There were rumors about interest from Pumas and Cruz Azul, but nothing has happened in weeks. It looks like he won’t be playing in Mexico after all. While teams from Mexico City showed interest, it seems he’s leaning towards the United States.
Journalist Oscar Ostos reports that James Rodriguez is close to a deal with Columbus Crew. They are currently searching for a coach after Wilfried Nancy joined Celtic.
Columbus is in a race with Orlando City to sign James. Don’t forget, he’s also been linked to Brazilian teams like his old club Sao Paulo and Santos.
Remember, James spent a year at Leon but didn’t make a big impact in Mexico. He ended his contract to stay fit for the 2026 World Cup with the Colombian National Team.
No matter where he plays next, his main goal is to get game time and be ready for the 2026 World Cup.
