James Rodríguez Set to Leave León and Enter Free Agency at Year’s End

He is prioritizing regular minutes before the 2026 World Cup to guide his next move.

Overview

  • ESPN reports León will let his contract expire on Dec. 31, clearing the 34-year-old to enter the market as a free agent.
  • Reports indicate several Liga MX clubs have registered interest, with MLS teams also tracking his availability once the deal ends.
  • Sources say his camp is focused on securing consistent playing time ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
  • MLS’s late‑February start could complicate that objective, making league timing a factor as options are evaluated.
  • Since arriving in January, he has five goals and eight assists in 32 appearances for León, a stint affected by FIFA’s disqualification of the club from the Club World Cup.
