"I will never bring him in. He's 33 years old and in recent years he's never played more than 12 or 13 games," Fabiani stated, suggesting that the Colombian's age and inconsistency are the main reasons for ruling out his signing.

What are the reasons behind this decision?

• Age and physical wear and tear: At 33 years old, James Rodríguez has accumulated a significant football career but has also suffered various injuries that have affected his performance. Lazio is looking for younger players with greater long-term potential.
• Inconsistent performance: The irregularity in the number of games played by the Colombian in recent years is another factor that has weighed on Lazio's decision. The club is looking for players with greater continuity and ability to withstand a full season.
• Sporting project: Lazio is building an ambitious sporting project, based on the formation of a young and competitive team. James Rodríguez's profile does not fit the club's current needs.

Impact of the decision on James Rodríguez

Lazio's decision is another setback for James Rodríguez, who is looking for a team where he can regain his best form and have continuity. The Colombian will have to carefully evaluate his options and find a destination that suits his characteristics and ambitions.

What future awaits James Rodríguez?

Despite the interest of some teams in the Colombian, his future is still uncertain. His age and injury history may make it difficult for him to be signed by top-level clubs. However, his footballing quality and his ability to make a difference in matches remain attractive to many teams.
