James Rodríguez's time at Rayo Vallecano
The Colombian player has had a very brief stint at Rayo Vallecano, a club he joined on August 26, 2024, and from which he leaves just four and a half months later without much involvement, accumulating 203 minutes of play across seven matches (six in La Liga and one in the Copa del Rey), only two of which were as a starter.
The excitement with which the Colombian arrived in Vallecas, eager to prove himself once again in La Liga after being named the best player of the 2024 Copa América, has dissipated in just a few months. From the start, he was relegated to a secondary role, and his coach, Iñigo Pérez, never saw him as a real option to be a starter and settle into the starting lineup.
In his position in midfield and attacking midfield, players such as Jorge de Frutos, Unai López, Isi Palazón, and Oscar Trejo have had more opportunities than him, which influenced his decision to terminate his contract and seek minutes away from Vallecas.
The last time James was called up was on December 7, 2024, to sit on the bench against Valencia. He did not play. This was also the case against Girona, Alavés, Athletic Club de Bilbao, Sevilla, and Valencia, where he watched the match from the bench.
Of the first team at Rayo, only one player has had fewer minutes than James Rodríguez (203). It was forward Raúl de Tomás (90), who also could leave during this winter transfer window if a good offer arrives and the conditions are right for the club.
