Overview
- Atlético Nacional confirmed the signing and announced an initial one-year contract with an option to extend after posting social-media teasers focused on the No. 10 jersey.
- Transfer reporters said Rodríguez had a prior verbal agreement with Nacional and turned down offers from Serie B club Avellino before the deal was formalized.
- The club completed the registration and public announcement late Thursday, closing a transfer that reporters described as negotiated quietly over recent days.
- Rodríguez arrives after a string of short stints abroad, including a brief Minnesota United spell where he played limited minutes, and the immediate priority is restoring his match fitness.
- Nacional frame the capture as a marquee signing that should strengthen their attack and boost their push for the Primera A title and Copa Libertadores qualification.
