James Rodríguez has repeatedly mentioned that he is not seen playing many years in professional football, and that in fact, after the 2026 World Cup in case of qualifying with the Colombian National Team, he could analyze whether he continues a little more or if he retires.

In the program ‘News and Radio Popular de Ibagué’, they chatted with the manager, who gave his point of view.
Could James Rodríguez play in Tolima Sports or Colombian football?
“Always very grateful to him (James Rodríguez) in a deference with the soul team put on the shirt. I answer something I saw in a video when he was very small in which he said where he wanted to be, and replied that it was in Tolima Sports,” said César Camargo.
