Overview

  • Bolavip cites reporters Tom Bogert and Pipe Sierra in stating that discussions with Minnesota United are advancing, though no agreement has been announced.
  • Rodríguez has been without a club since leaving León at the end of 2025 and has been training on his own to maintain fitness.
  • His representatives pitched a six-month, lower-cost deal to Club América and held an informal meeting with directors, who asked for time to decide.
  • In Argentina, he was offered to Estudiantes de La Plata and Platense for their Copa Libertadores campaigns, with both clubs weighing financial feasibility.
