Rodríguez, 35, is negotiating a move to Avellino, which currently competes in Serie B, Italy's second division. The club made significant signings during the transfer window. If the deal is completed, Rodríguez will return to European football after spells with Porto, Monaco, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Everton, Olympiacos, and Rayo Vallecano. Rodríguez's potential move to Avellino is a surprise, given his desire to continue his career in Europe. He has had a notable career, including scoring the most beautiful goal in the 2014 World Cup 12 years ago and being a leader in the Colombian national team in the 2026 World Cup, where they were eliminated by Switzerland in the round of 16.
