It is revealed that Ronaldo is facing unemployment! He has been reduced to a substitute in the Mexican Super League and only has 2 months left on his contract.

On October 29, according to an exclusive report by the Mexican media "Súper Deportivo", Colombian star James Rodriguez (J. Ronaldo for short) will officially leave the Mexican club León after the end of this season. Leon's top management has decided not to renew his contract, and Ronaldo will become a free agent at the end of December.

In January this year, the 34-year-old Ronaldo joined the Mexican team Leon. His joining brought huge attention to the team. In the first few months after joining, he really showed his aura and offensive leadership. In the Mexican Super League Autumn League, he played 17 times, including 15 starts, scoring 2 goals and 6 assists. However, since April, Leon has been excluded from the New Club World Cup because "multiple teams belong to the same owner", and Ronaldo's influence has begun to decline.

In the new season, Ronaldo played only 12 times, including 8 starts, contributing 3 goals and 1 assist. At the same time, the team's record began to decline, their unbeaten streak was broken, they were eliminated from the playoffs by the Blue Cross, and they returned disappointed from the League Cup. Even when new coach Nico Ambries took over, he was unable to reverse the decline. In this context, Ronaldo gradually lost his main position and was often placed on the bench.

As the 2025 Autumn League draws to a close, Ronaldo knows that his days in Leon have entered a countdown. In the past year, he played 32 times for the team, contributing 5 goals and 8 assists. The offensive end was mostly a "late highlight" and lacked the performance to provide help in times of need. Coupled with his high salary, it has become a huge burden for the club. Coupled with frequent injuries and frequent call-ups to the Colombian national team, in the end, Leon decided not to renew his contract with Ronaldo.

As the contract is about to expire, Ronaldo will become a free agent. In order to participate in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico next summer, the 34-year-old Ronaldo will not choose to retire. He hopes to return to the European competition. It is reported that La Liga team Valencia has expressed interest in signing. After 10 rounds of La Liga, Valencia is ranked 18th with only 9 points and is in deep trouble. They hope to introduce this attacking midfielder to improve their offensive creativity. Valencia therefore became a feasible destination that combined both personal wishes and the needs of the club.

Last summer, Ronaldo joined the La Liga team Rayo Vallecano with a high profile. At that time, Rayo Vallecano's management regarded him as an important signing, but the team's head coach Inigo Perez did not buy it at all. He only gave Ronaldo 6 La Liga appearances, including 1 start, with a total playing time of 143 minutes, and no goals or assists were recorded. Inigo Perez's reason for not using Ronaldo is simple. He believes that the latter does not conform to his tactical philosophy and cannot play modern football. This time, Valencia wants the 34-year-old Ronaldo without a visa. Do you think the Colombian midfielder can shine in La Liga?
