Finally something is wrong with James Rodriguez. This great left-footed Colombian soccer player has a hard time adapting to the teams he goes to. He had started at Banfield with great promise. She sold him after his wonderful performances in Porto on July 6, 2010 for €16.1 million, with which he signed a 4-year contract.

Rodriguez gradually became a key player, especially after the departure of important attacking players such as Radamel Falcao, and Hulk. His contribution was instrumental in his team's third straight championship in 2013, scoring 13 goals and providing 15 assists. His name began to figure quite a lot in the European press. So in May 2013 it was the turn of French AS Monaco to pay the amount of 45 million euros (it was the second most expensive transfer in the history of Portuguese football). In his first season in the French league he was one of the best footballers and helped his team qualify for the UEFA Champions League although they lost the championship to Paris Saint-Germain.

After July 22, 2014, he signed a 6-year contract with Real Madrid, which paid the exorbitant amount of 87 million euros. He put in some good performances and on 19 August he scored his first goal for Real Madrid against Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, coming on as a half-time substitute for Cristiano Ronaldo. He then transferred to Al Rayyan of Qatar, then returned to Europe and wore the shirt of Olympiakos as a free agent (22/9/2022) but on April 13, 2023, they terminated their cooperation by mutual consent. Then he went to Sao Paulo and this summer he signed in Spanish, Rayo Vallecano.
