Millonarios de Colombia was another alternative for the 34-year-old Colombian attacking midfielder James Rodríguez, which would have represented a return to his country's football. However, initial inquiries did not progress to formal negotiations, and as a result, the potential transfer became less likely. The Club León FC player, who joined the club in January 2025, has made 14 appearances in the Liga MX Apertura this season, scoring 3 goals and providing 2 assists. He has also been linked with clubs such as São Paulo and Cruz Azul. Rodríguez has 122 caps and 31 goals for the Colombian national team. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €2.50m.
