James Rodriguez Leaves Minnesota United After Six Months
Minnesota United officially announced the departure of Colombian midfielder James Rodriguez on Tuesday evening, just six months after his arrival. The 35-year-old, who is now a free agent, had an option to extend his contract until December, but the club did not activate it. Since joining in January, Rodriguez played only eight matches for the Minneapolis team. His departure marks the 14th club of his professional career. Despite contributing to Colombia's run to the round of 16 in the 2026 World Cup, his club career has been unstable, with no consecutive season at one club since his stint at Bayern Munich from 2017 to 2019. He has since moved through eight clubs in seven seasons. Rodriguez, a former Real Madrid star with 127 international caps and 34 goals for Colombia, now faces an uncertain future as he searches for a new team.
