Colombia international James Rodriguez has joined Qatar’s Al- Rayyan from Premier League Everton, both clubs said on Wednesday.
The length of the contract and the transfer fee were not disclosed.
The 30-year-old midfielder’s future at Everton looked uncertain after they appointed manager Rafa Benitez to replace Carlo Ancelotti this season.
Rodriguez joined Everton from LaLiga club Real Madrid in September 2020 looking to revive his career in England. He contributed six goals and nine assists in 26 games in all competitions for Everton last season.
Rodriguez scored 37 goals across two spells at Real after joining them on the back of stellar performances at the 2014 World Cup, where he won the Golden Boot.
