James Rodríguez to MLS: Total Agreement with Minnesota United

The future of James Rodríguez has taken an unexpected turn, steering him away from Argentine football and placing him at the center of the North American scene. After rumors linking him to Argentine football, a verbal agreement has been confirmed for the Colombian star to become a new player for Minnesota United. The deal is in the "Here we go" phase, with the midfielder ready to start a new chapter in his career within Major League Soccer.

An Impact Signing as a Free Agent

The captain of the Colombian National Team joins the "Loons" as a free agent, which facilitated salary negotiations that were prohibitive in other markets. James, 34, was seeking a destination that offered competitive stability and a leading role, conditions that the Minnesota franchise immediately put on the table. Currently, the final bureaucratic details are being ironed out before proceeding to the formal signing of the contracts.

The New Number 10 of the Western Conference

With this move, MLS adds another world-class figure to its roster of stars, following the league's growth trend ahead of the 2026 World Cup. For Minnesota United, the addition of James represents an unprecedented leap in technical quality, aiming for his vision of the game and left-footed strike to be the key to competing for the MLS Cup title. The player is expected to undergo medical tests and be officially presented to his new fans in the coming hours.
