There were concerns James would quit Leon after their Club World Cup entry was denied by FIFA. James has a deal to December this year.

But Leon coach Eduardo Berizzo said on Sunday: "What I can say right now is that James has a contract and will continue with León."

The 33-year-old from Cúcuta joined his current team in January, shortly after leaving Rayo Vallecano.

With Leon, he has played 16 matches, in which he has scored two goals and provided six assists.
