Minnesota United confirmed the departure of James Rodriguez on July 22, 2026. The club opted against triggering a contract extension clause that would have retained the midfielder through December 2026.
Rodriguez concludes a six-month tenure with the Major League Soccer side. During this period, he made eight appearances for the club and recorded two assists.
This exit adds to a career that has seen Rodriguez play for 13 senior clubs. His previous stops include Envigado, Banfield, Porto, Monaco, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Everton, Al-Rayyan, Olympiacos, São Paulo, Rayo Vallecano, and León.
