Official: Iván Martos will play on loan at Rayo until the end of the course

The Ray has put the direct. After making official the arrival of goalkeeper Luca Zidane, the franjirrojo club has closed the signing of Iván Martos, who will play in Vallecas on loan until the end of the season (20-21). The 23-year-old left-back arrives from Almería and both entities have agreed on a Obligatory purchase option by the player in the case of Rayista promotion and optional if he finally does not go up to First. Getafe and Osasuna had also followed the track during this market.

With the incorporation of the Catalan defender, Iraola will have this demarcation complete. One of his headaches in recent days. And it is that Fran García – today, the owner and lord of that left wing – has been summoned this week with the Under-21 National Team, so the Rayista coach was left without any replacement in that band in the face of the duel against the Tenerife. He already has it and everything points to Martos will debut at the Heliodoro this Saturday.

The left side was formed in the lower categories of Nàstic Manresa, Damm and Barça and ended up landing at the Juvenil del Almería in 2013-14. He spent two seasons in the subsidiary (16-18) until Fran Fernández made him debut with the first team (18-19). Thus, little by little, he was gaining ground from his companions Samu de los Reyes, Nano and Andoni. Last year he became the footballer who played the most minutes of the entire Almería squad (3,115, ahead of Maras, with 3,107).
