💣Two stars to join forces? James Rodríguez edging closer to South America | OneFootball

Just months away from the 2026 World Cup, the future of James Rodríguez remains the biggest enigma in South American football. However, in recent hours, a possibility has gained traction that excites the entire country: his arrival at Millonarios. Under the concept of "The Last Dance," the Bogotá club would seek to replicate the formula used with Falcao García to bring together the two biggest icons of the Colombian National Team.

Although the club president, Enrique Camacho, acknowledged that there are budgetary restrictions and that the squad seems complete, voices close to upper management assure that the door is open. "If James wants to come, we are ready here," Gustavo Serpa, the team's majority shareholder, is said to have declared, leaving the decision in the player's hands.

The business model behind the signing

The operation would not be simple, but according to ESPN, the club would bet on an aggressive marketing model to finance the high salary of the 34-year-old midfielder.

It is estimated that the commercial impact would cover a large part of the initial investment, in addition to the new commercial partnerships that would come from bringing James and Falcao together.

With Junior de Barranquilla out of the race, Millonarios emerges as the only destination in the FPC capable of offering James the platform he needs to arrive at the World Cup in top form.
