James Rodriguez

James Rodriguez is a Colombian professional football player and holds the position of attacking midfielder or winger for the top division football club Real Madrid CF. He gets much credit for his technique, vision, and the playmaking skills he brings to the whole team. When he transferred from AS Monaco to Real Madrid in 2014, the footballer received a handsome paycheck of £63 million, making him the most expensive Columbian football player of all time. Fittingly so, he is also one of the most expensive players in all of the sport’s history.

In 2013, James became a father to Salome, his first daughter, at the age of 21. It may seem like a very young age for athletes James and Daniela Ospina, a professional volleyball player, to have a baby, but they had been planning for it over their two-year marriage. That said, the sports couple ended up parting ways in 2017.
