Colombian player James Rodriguez said goodbye to the Mexican club Leon after the end of the Apertura 2025 tournament. As journalist Fabrizio Romano reports, the 33-year-old football player is depriving the team of the status of a free agent.

His last match for Leon James was against Puebla in the 17th round of the Mexican Championship. On the 83rd week, he was replaced so that the patients could say goodbye standing - hopping up the stands, raising their arms in a gesture of resignation, and after the final whistle, hugging their teammates.

Rodriguez came to Leon in 2025, willing to take part in the club world championship. However, through the disqualification of the Mexican club, due to violations of the multi-party rule, this opportunity was not realized. The team ended the season without making it to the playoffs.

Narasi Hames is considering options to extend his career or maintain his playing form ahead of the 2026 World Championships, which will be held in the USA, Mexico and Canada.

The 34-year-old Colombian has already earned 12 clubs, including Porto, Monaco, Real Madrid, Bayern, Everton, Olympiakos, etc.. At the peak of his career, James won two Champions League titles and won the Golden Boot at the 2014 FIFA World Cup..
