Montiel renews with Rayo

Joni Montiel has renewed with Rayo. This was announced by the franjirrojo club just moments after the team led by Iraola got its first victory of the preseason against Leganés (0-1). A friendly where the midfielder shone, who signed a real goal from a free kick in the 92nd minute. Just a few minutes later, the Ray made its continuity official until 2024.

Good news, finally, for the Vallecano. This preseason was not being easy for him. Montiel had spent around twenty days without being able to train with his teammates, at the expense of accepting the offer of renewal of the Madrid entity. However, the situation changed this week, in which Joni has already been able to work under Iraola.

Montiel, at 21, is one of the youth players with the most projection and talent. Also one of the most loved by the fans. At age 17, he made his debut with the Strip at the Bernabéu (2015-16), led by Paco Jémez, with whom last season he added 762 minutes in the league, spread over 25 games, in which he scored two goals: against Elche and Las Palmas.
