Right-back Andrei Ratiu has established himself as one of the great surprises in the start of the season in LaLiga EA Sports. At 26 years old, the Romanian player has gone from having little prominence last season to becoming a key player for Rayo Vallecano under the guidance of Iñigo Pérez. His performance in the league and his outstanding display in the 2024 Euro Cup have not gone unnoticed.
Ratiu has played 15 consecutive matches in the domestic competition, being essential in the Madrid team's scheme. His speed and defensive solidity have earned him recognition as the team's best all-terrain player in November. However, his impact is not limited to Vallecas: top clubs in Europe have set their sights on the Romanian.
Ratiu, one of the most coveted full-backs at the moment 4g2o1c
As reported by MundoDeportivo, the full-back is under contract with Rayo until 2028, with a release clause set at 25 million euros. A figure that does not seem to deter giants such as Barcelona, Atlético Madrid, Tottenham, Bayer Leverkusen, and Roma, who have shown interest in the wing-back. Even Villarreal, who owns 50% of his rights, could benefit from a future sale.
With the winter transfer market opening around the corner, Ratiu's departure is shaping up to be a real possibility. Rayo Vallecano, despite the probable financial gain, faces the challenge of losing one of their standout players at the peak of his career.
