  • Rodríguez has been a free agent since December after leaving Club León and has been without a club since then, despite starring for Real Madrid and Bayern Munich with international honours.

  • The potential signing follows MLS's pattern of landing former European stars such as David Beckham, Lionel Messi, and Thomas Müller, adding another chapter to Rodríguez's nomadic career.
