James Rodríguez has explained why he has chosen to join Minnesota United after his move to MLS was confirmed, saying he felt the club’s desire to bring him in made the decision clear.
The Colombia star said the key factor was the way Minnesota approached him and showed how much they wanted him. “When people want you, you have to give everything for them,” Rodríguez said, as he outlined the thinking behind the switch.
Rodríguez added that he is ready to repay that faith on the pitch and is motivated by the challenge of a new league, with Minnesota now the next stop in a career that has taken him through some of Europe’s biggest stages.
The move has now been officially confirmed, and Rodríguez’s comments make it clear he sees the transfer as a chance to respond to the trust shown in him and to make an immediate impact for Minnesota United.
