"James Rodríguez is set to become a free agent when his contract at León expires at the end of the year, sources have told ESPN. The Colombia international's current deal expires on Dec. 31 and the Mexican Club are not planning to renew the Colombia legend's deal. The former Real Madrid and Everton midfielder has five goals and eight assists in 32 games in all competitions for León since joining the side in January after leaving Spanish outfit Rayo Vallecano."
"Rodríguez, 34, has not ruled out staying in the Liga MX next year, with several Mexican clubs having expressed an interest in his services. Another alternative that the player's camp is evaluating is the possibility to move to the MLS. However, with the MLS set to start in late February, this option is less appealing for James, who wants to have regular playing time ahead of the 2026 World Cup."
James Rodríguez will become a free agent on Dec. 31 after León declines to renew his contract. The 34-year-old midfielder scored five goals and provided eight assists in 32 matches for León since joining in January from Rayo Vallecano. Several Mexican clubs have expressed interest and the player's camp is also evaluating a move to MLS, though the league's late-February start makes that less attractive as he seeks regular minutes before the 2026 World Cup. Rodríguez is expected to captain Colombia at the World Cup and has played for six clubs since leaving Real Madrid in 2020.
