James Rodríguez Joins León But Is Not The Most Expensive Colombian In Liga MX

Colombian star James Rodríguez has officially made the jump to Liga MX, joining León with an annual salary of $5 million, which equates to around $1.8 million per month.

As the Colombian national team’s number 10, Rodríguez’s arrival pushes for a closer look at the Colombian player landscape in the Mexican league. Despite his high profile, he is not the most valuable Colombian player in the league.

The first place is occupied by goalkeeper Kevin Mier, currently stationed at Cruz Azul, whose market value shines at 8.2 million dollars. Following closely, defender Willer Ditta, also from Cruz Azul, is valued at $6.1 million. In third place is Nelson Deossa from Monterrey, with a market value of $4.6 million.
