Colombian Star James Rodriguez Departs La Liga to Join Mexican Club

Colombia's star player and former Real Madrid midfielder, James Rodriguez, has officially signed with Mexican club Leon following a short and disappointing spell with La Liga team Rayo Vallecano. Rodriguez, who has previously played for Bayern Munich and Monaco, joined Rayo Vallecano at the beginning of the season on a free transfer but only managed to make six league appearances for the club. The Madrid-based team wished him luck as he made his move to Club Leon. The announcement of Rodriguez's transfer to Club Leon was made in a captivating video, showcasing the midfielder as a skilled and powerful Roman gladiator cheered on by a thrilled crowd.

The 33-year-old greeted his new fans in a brief video announcing he was already in Mexico "with a lot of enthusiasm, with lots of excitement".

Rodriguez was player of the tournament as Colombia finished as runners-up in last year's Copa America and won the Golden Boot at the 2014 World Cup.
