Rayo Vallecano emerging as top candidates to sign Real Madrid outcast | OneFootball

Real Madrid defender Jesus Vallejo is reportedly on the verge of leaving the club, with Rayo Vallecano emerging as a strong contender to sign him, claims a report from Fichajes.

At 27 years old, Vallejo’s future at the Spanish giants appears uncertain, as he has struggled to secure regular playing time.

With his contract set to expire in June, the defender could leave Real Madrid on a free transfer. This situation has attracted interest from Rayo Vallecano, who are looking to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.

Vallejo has always struggled

Vallejo’s time at Real Madrid has been plagued by a lack of first-team appearances, despite his impressive performances during loan spells at clubs like Eintracht Frankfurt and Granada.

While he has shown his ability to perform in La Liga, Vallejo has been unable to break into the starting XI at Madrid.

This lack of opportunities has led both the player and the club to consider a move away, as he seeks a fresh start where he can play more regularly and recapture his best form.

Rayo Vallecano want him

Rayo Vallecano appear to be an ideal destination for the defender. The club’s defensive needs and their focus on developing solid players make Vallejo an attractive target. H

is familiarity with La Liga, combined with his defensive skills, would make him a valuable addition to Rayo’s backline.

Moreover, since Vallejo would join on a free transfer, this deal fits within the club’s financial structure. Rayo Vallecano is confident that they can secure Vallejo’s services once he officially departs from Real Madrid.

For the defender, a move to Rayo Vallecano could be the fresh start he needs to rejuvenate his career. The club’s competitive nature and family-like atmosphere could provide the perfect environment to feel valued and regain his confidence on the pitch.
