James Rodriguez - Still without work visa Rodriguez was not available for the season opener due to not having his work visa, according to EL Colombiano.

Impact Rodriguez is not with Minnesota yet as the season kicks off, with the midfielder still without his work visa. This follows suit to numerous other players in the league, a common issue amongst MLS clubs at the moment. It is undetermined when he will be eligible to play, hopeful he can start integrating into the group next week.

It was the only chance he created in his 12 minutes off the bench. He'll look to make more of an impact this season than he has in seasons past, and he's already on the right track to doing that.

Devin Padelford - Contract option exercised Padelford's contract option has been exercised by Minnesota United following his loan spell to St. Louis City SC, the club announced.

Impact Padelford closed out last season on loan with St. Louis City SC, chipping in one assist while adding 20 tackles, 25 crosses and 16 clearances across 10 appearances. The young defender showed enough in that stretch to earn a longer look, flashing two-way ability and steady defensive work during his stint. Minnesota United picked up his contract option after that strong loan spell, locking him into the roster for the 2026 MLS season.

James Rodriguez - Signs with Minnesota United Rodriguez has completed a transfer to Minnesota United on a six-month deal until the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Friday. The deal also includes an option until December 2026.

Impact Rodriguez spent the 2025 Apertura with Club Leon in Liga MX, tallying three goals and two assists across 14 appearances (10 starts), but he was never able to be the difference-maker the club expected. Rodriguez might not be the dominant playmaker he was during his prime, but he should be an above-average player at the MLS level if he stays healthy. If he's fit to play in the season opener against Austin FC on Feb. 21, he should be a starter right away.
