James Rodríguez, the Colombian midfielder who was named MVP at the 2024 Copa América, is back in Europe. He has signed a one-year deal with Rayo Vallecano, a Spanish La Liga club. Rayo Vallecano officially announced the signing, highlighting Rodríguez’s impressive performance at the Copa América, where he broke the record for assists in a single tournament. The club expressed excitement about having the star player join them for their centenary season. Rodríguez, who rose to fame as the top scorer at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, is looking forward to achieving great things with the club. He previously played for Real Madrid, where he won the UEFA Champions League twice, before moving to Bayern Munich, Everton, Al-Rayyan, and Olympiacos. He is considered a skilled midfielder, but his lack of consistency has hampered his career in recent years. However, his performance at the 2024 Copa América, where he scored one goal and provided six assists, suggests that he is ready to make a comeback. Rayo Vallecano’s manager, Iraola, is confident that Rodríguez can contribute significantly to the team, despite acknowledging that he may not feature in the upcoming match against Barcelona.
