Raul de Tomas goes to Rayo Vallecano

Spanish international striker Raul de Tomas has left Espanyol Barcelona and has joined Rayo Vallecano until June 2027, the two clubs announced in statements on Tuesday. As the transfer took place outside the transfer window dates, the player will have to wait for the next transfer window, in January, to be able to be registered and play matches.

The amount of the operation amounts to 8 or 9 million euros + 4 million bonuses, indicated the Spanish press, which specifies that the relationship between the striker and Espanyol ended badly: the player asked an exit ticket which was denied to him, and in turn refused to join the pre-season with the rest of the group. Trained at Real Madrid, Raul de Tomas went through several Spanish clubs before landing at Benfica Lisbon in the summer of 2019 for 20 million euros. Six months later, Espanyol bought him from the Portuguese club for 22.5 million euros. And therefore resells it two and a half years later at half price.

• Our opinion : Raul de Tomas finally won his case, even if he will still have to wait before changing his jersey.
