James Rodriguez once surpassed Messi to win the title of Best Player of Copa America 2024, when he played brilliantly and miraculously revived to bring the Colombian team to the final (losing to the Argentina team with a score of 0-1 after extra time).
After the Copa America, James Rodriguez joined La Liga club Rayo Vallecano (Spain) from Sao Paulo (Brazil) on a free transfer. However, the 33-year-old star’s hopes of playing more have been disappointed, as he has only played 6 matches since the beginning of the season and has not played a major role.
According to DSPORTS : “James Rodriguez will soon end his contract with Rayo Vallecano from the beginning of 2025 and will once again become a free player. He plans to continue playing in Europe. However, there have been contacts from Inter Miami to recruit this veteran star to play alongside Messi for the big goal in 2025 when participating in the Club World Cup. These are also the two main factors that Inter Miami is using to try to convince James Rodriguez”.
