James Rodríguez in Advanced Talks With Minnesota United

Securing a club soon would address fitness concerns before Colombia’s March friendlies and the World Cup.

Overview

  • Transfermarkt reports advanced negotiations, confirming earlier reporting that Minnesota United are pursuing the free agent, though an agreement still faces hurdles.
  • Rodríguez has been without a club since his Club León contract expired and has not played a competitive club match since November 2025.
  • Argentine outlets say he was offered to Estudiantes de La Plata and Platense, with both clubs evaluating the move.
  • Match fitness and salary expectations are key considerations as he has been training individually and was previously linked with high financial demands.
  • Colombia’s captain is expected to feature in friendlies against Croatia on March 26 in Orlando and France on March 29 near Washington, creating urgency for regular minutes.
