James Rodriguez (33) became ‘unemployed’ again.
England’s ‘The Sun’ reported on the 7th (Korea time) that Rodriguez became an FA (free agent) again with his sixth release in six years. Rodriguez returned to Spain in August last year for the first time in four years as an FA. They built a nest in Rayo Bayecano.
The contract was for one year. A one-year extension option was also included. However, he terminated his contract after four months. The Athletic said Rodriguez’s early termination of his contract had both economic and sporting reasons.
Rodriguez played only six La Liga games for Rayo. He started only one game. The playing time was 136 minutes. His last appearance was against Las Palmas, which lost 1-3 on November 9 last year.
Expectations were high. Rodriguez, the star of the Colombian national team, won the Golden Ball, the MVP (best player), although he finished second in the Copa America last summer. But ‘Club Suicide’ continued again in Spain.

He became the top scorer (six goals) at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and appeared at the forefront of global soccer like a comet. Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Manchester City sent love calls, but Rodriguez’s choice was Real Madrid. He won two La Liga and European Champions League titles at Real Madrid. Even after being loaned to Bayern Munich, he reached the top of the German Bundesliga twice.
He also played for Everton in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2020-2021 season. Coach Carlo Ancelotti, who was with Bayern Munich, held his hand. However, after Ancelotti’s departure, he was pushed out when Rafael Benitez took the helm. He scored six goals and eight assists in 26 games for Everton.
Rodriguez later played for Alayan and Olympiacos. He played in the Olympiacos with Hwang In-beom. After going through Sao Paulo, he met Rayo, but it wasn’t meant to be.
Rodriguez is also rumored to return to the EPL. Portugal’s ‘Oh Jogu’ claimed Aston Villa, Wolverhampton, Fulham and Nottingham Forest were interested in Rodriguez. Hwang Hee-chan’s Wolverhampton is drawing attention.
As the captain of the Colombian national team, he has scored 29 goals in 112 A matches.
