MADRID — James Rodríguez is back in the Spanish league. Madrid club Rayo Vallecano says it signed the Colombia playmaker in a deal that brings him back to Spain four years after he left Real Madrid to join Everton in the Premier League. The 33-year-old Rodríguez had his contract with Brazilian club Sao Paulo rescinded after he led Colombia to a runner-up finish in the Copa America, where he had six assists and was named the tournament's most valuable player. He reportedly had offers from clubs in Saudi Arabia and the United States.
