Rayo Vallecano had positioned itself a few days ago as the main candidate to take over the services of Lucas Pérez. The Galician striker left Alavés last week and his destiny pointed to Vallecas. However, your situation has changed in the last hours and Mallorca has now been in pole position to sign him. Espanyol also has him on the agenda.
El Rayo showed his interest in Lucas Pérez several weeks ago, but has not finished presenting him with a firm offer. In this space of time, Mallorca has suffered the injury of Ángel Rodríguez (He will be out for about two months), which has led him to resort to the market. Hence his interest in Lucas Pérez, that fits perfectly into the schemes of Luis García Plaza, who currently only has Fer Niño and Abdon Prats as strikers.
Lucas Pérez had given priority to Rayo before the arrival of some offers that he had received from abroad, since he was already a member of the Madrid club 10 years ago. However, right now his future is closer to Mallorca than to Vallecas.
