James Rodriguez's Move to Rayo Vallecano Ahead of Barça Match
James Rodriguez's Potential Move to Rayo Vallecano
The future of James Rodriguez has been uncertain since his remarkable display at the Copa América, where he was named the tournament's MVP. After unsuccessful stints in Brazil, Greece, and Asia, the Colombian publicly expressed his desire to return to Spain. Reports indicate that an agreement with Rayo Vallecano is imminent, although formalizing the contract is still pending.
Rayo Vallecano's Significant Gain
At 32 years old, James seeks to restore his stability and brilliance, which once led him to be a two-time Champions League champion with Real Madrid. This acquisition would be a luxury boost for Rayo, securing the Copa América MVP without any transfer fee, as he is a free agent after parting ways with São Paulo.
- Other LaLiga clubs, like Getafe, expressed interest.
- President Ángel Torres confirmed Rodriguez was offered to them.
- A deal ultimately did not materialize with Getafe.
While the agreement is close, news suggests it’s unlikely for James to be available for Rayo Vallecano's upcoming clash against FC Barcelona on Tuesday. Even if the deal is finalized in the coming hours, his availability for the match remains doubtful, as he would need adequate training with his new team.
