currently leading the race for Rayo Vallecano fullback Andrei Ratiu.
The Romanian footballer, included in the La Liga XI for the 2024-2025 season, has attracted the attention of several European clubs, including Lazio, Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.
According to the Spanish newspaper AS, the Giallorossi have overtaken Lazio, who are currently unable to operate on the market due to tax constraints.
Rayo Vallecano, for its part, is leveraging a release clause of 25 million euros, a figure that does not seem scare Roma if they decide to accelerate on the Romanian.
Villareal holds 50% of the rights to the player’s sale, a factor that could affect the negotiation.
The situation around Ratiu, therefore, must be monitored, even if the objective for the right flank remains Wesley of Flamengo.
