According to a report compiled by Tz, former Bayern Munich attacking midfielder James Rodríguez could be on the move once again:
In January, James moved from Rayo Vallecano to Mexico – more precisely, to Club
Leon. But the Colombian’s time at his new club could already be over. According to Mexican TV reporter Paco Vela, the superstar will be gone after the first half of the season. And there’s a simple reason for that.
Because the club is in a serious crisis. With 13 points, they are currently second to last, and it doesn’t look like that will change in the short to medium term. “León is already preparing for next season without James. It’s not official yet, but you can consider it a certainty,” Vela stated.
After the return of championship-winning coach Ignacio Ambriz in September, fans hoped for a turnaround. But even he couldn’t prevent the team’s decline. According to Medio Tiempo, the coach would have liked to continue working with James. However, both sides apparently agreed to end their collaboration.
According to transfer insider César Luis Merlo, the date for James’ farewell match has already been set. He is scheduled to play his last game against Puebla on November 8th. After that, his time in Mexico will most likely come to an end. It is still unclear where the former Bayern Munich star might move to next.
If you are keeping track at home, Rodríguez has been at the following clubs since leaving Bayern Munich in 2019:
- Real Madrid (2019-2020)
- Everton (2020-2021)
- Al-Rayyan (2021-2022)
- Olympiacos (2022-2023)
- São Paulo (2023-2024)
- Rayo Vallecano (2024-2025)
- Club León (2025-???)
That is a crazy odyssey…
Bayern Munich traveled to Cologne for a midweek DFB-Pokal tilt with FC Köln.
Heading into the match, the Bavarians were riding high, but the squad knew that FC Köln would not be an easy out in front of its home crowd. Ultimately, Bayern Munich pulled out a 4-1 victory doing exactly what they have done to every other opponent it has had of late — wear them down and pounce.
