Andrei Ratiu moves away from Rayo Vallecano 5t6mb

The future of Andrei Ratiu seems to be moving away inevitably from Vallecas. Bayer Leverkusen has emerged strongly in the battle for the Romanian international, determined to sign the right-back in the summer market. The German club, which already had offers for Jeremie Frimpong last summer, is seeking reliable alternatives in case the Dutchman departs, and Ratiu has become one of their top priorities.

At 26 years old, the Rayo Vallecano defender has established himself as one of the sensations of LaLiga. His speed, offensive capabilities, and significant growth in recent months have not gone unnoticed by the top European clubs. Leverkusen would be willing to pay the €25 million stated in his release clause, a sum that the Madrid-based club could not match.

Despite Vallecas wanting to retain him, the stance is clear: anyone wanting his services must pay the clause. Villarreal, holding 50% of the player's rights and having a buyback option, is also closely monitoring the situation. However, all signs indicate the player's destiny lies in the Bundesliga.

With two goals and three assists this season, Ratiu has increased his value to €12 million according to Transfermarkt. Bayer Leverkusen is determined to outpace the competition and secure a g that appears inevitable as soon as possible.
