Rayo is already looking to the future: the challenge is to give continuity to the project

The permanence has been a respite for Rayo, which he has between eyebrows and eyebrows to continue climbing positions in the classification. Something that would improve the club’s income and help build a more ambitious project for next season. Of course, keeping the base of it. Precisely, one of the keys to the success of this 21-22. Last summer, a commitment was made to the continuity of the bulk of the promotion staff, which translated into greater use of existing automation, as well as those small, highly effective companies: the Garciathe Óscar-Comesaña duo in the midfield… And today, the priority is the renewal of Iraolawho admitted his predisposition to sit down with the Madrid entity to listen to his proposal.

Regarding the template, Rayo has been extending —throughout the year— the contracts of some of its heavy weightsas Óscar Valentín (2025), Álvaro García (2026) and Isi Palazón (2025)so that practically all his eleven type has a contract in force, except for the striker. Sergi Guardiola ends loan and will have to return to Valladolid. His case is not the only one, given that there will be five officers who will finalize their loan in Vallecas in just a few weeks: the central Maras -the red-and-white have a purchase option-, the left-back Rodrigues, the winger Merquelanz and the strikers Guardiola and Sylla.

On the other hand, Only two players are out of contract this June (2022), one of them is the goalkeeper Luca and the other, the striker Falcaoalthough the latter will continue, as a result of a contractual clause in which it was established that He would extend his stay at Rayo for another year if he continued in the First Division. Now, another of the major challenges of the red-and-red club will be to prevent the rest of the teams from taking their footballers. Most of them with a large sign. In fact, throughout this campaign, names like Catena, Isi and Álvaro have been heard every time Luis Enrique gave a list of the Selection.

Other of the most valued of the locker room have been Fran García, Comesaña and Dimitrievski. A priori, the side will be the most difficult to retain, especially because Real Madrid could have the intention of recovering it to replace Marcelo. We must not forget that the white club, from whose quarry the left-hander comes out, owns half of his rights and that opens two possibilities: the negotiation of a transfer between entities or the payment of half (5 million euros) of its clause. If your destination were any other, Madrid also reserves the right of first refusal before any offer from a third party. While, Comesaña appears on the agenda of Valencia, Villarreal and Betis and Dimitrievski aroused the interest of Barça and Al-Nassr in the last winter market.
