James Rodríguez set to leave Minnesota United | OneFootball

James Rodríguez is set to leave Minnesota United after just three months in Major League Soccer.

The Colombian star joined Minnesota in February on a short-term deal until June 30, with a club option to extend through December 2026.

However, according to The Athletic's Tom Bogert and Apple TV’s Michele Giannone, Minnesota will not exercise their option.

As a result, Rodríguez will depart the club after Wednesday's match against Colorado Rapids. The 34-year-old will immediately join Colombia's training camp, ahead of what will be his third World Cup.

During his brief time with Minnesota, Rodríguez has made four MLS appearances, starting just once.

An earlier report from AS Colombia suggested Rodríguez may retire after the World Cup, but the Colombian's future is still unknown.
