James Rodriguez's dream of partnering with Messi is shattered.

James Rodriguez, the former Real Madrid and Everton star, wants to join Inter Miami, but the club believes his peak is over.

To date, James has not given any indication of his future.

According to Ole , Inter Miami, the team that already boasts Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez, received an offer from the agent to sign James Rodriguez. However, the club's management, including coach Javier Mascherano, rejected it, citing that the former Real Madrid star is past his prime.

James, now 34, is a free agent and has not been able to maintain the form he had during his peak, especially after leaving León in Mexico.

Following their MLS Cup 2025 victory, Inter Miami aims to build a young and dynamic squad to support Messi. The club believes that signing James James does not fit into their long-term strategy.

Although the former Real Madrid star was once one of the best attacking midfielders in the world , injuries and declining fitness have meant he can no longer meet the demands.

Currently, James has not made any concrete moves regarding his future, but being rejected by Inter Miami could open up other opportunities, especially in less competitive leagues or clubs in Asia or the Middle East, where he could continue his career with an attractive salary.

What did the Vietnamese women's volleyball team coach say about the controversial situation? After the 3-2 defeat against Thailand in the final, Coach Nguyen Tuan Kiet sent words of encouragement to the women's team. He said that this was the team's best match against Thailand, despite missing out on a victory.
