Yahoo Sports Rayo Vallecano interested in signing Real Madrid’s outcast player – report
According to recent reports from Fichajes, Rayo Vallecano have expressed a strong interest in signing Real Madrid’s out-of-favour defender, Jesus Vallejo.
The Spanish centre-back appears to be at a turning point in his career at Los Blancos, where his role under Carlo Ancelotti has been minimal, to say the least.
With just 10 minutes of game time so far this season, his future at the club looks increasingly uncertain, and a departure in the upcoming winter transfer window seems highly likely.
Rayo Vallecano, in that regard, have already emerged as a potential destination for the 27-year-old.
A free agent in the summer
Vallejo, whose contract with Real Madrid runs until the summer, has struggled to carve out a meaningful place in a squad competing in several major tournaments.
His lone appearance this season came during a La Liga clash against Alaves, where he was afforded little time to make an impression.
Given his lack of opportunities, Real Madrid are considering moving him on, both to streamline the squad and to give the player a chance to secure regular minutes elsewhere.
For Rayo Vallecano, bringing in Vallejo could be a strategic move to reinforce their defensive line. Discussions are yet to determine whether the deal will be structured as a permanent transfer or a loan until the end of the season.
A good prospect for the defender
From Vallejo’s perspective, a move to Rayo could provide the chance to regain the playing rhythm he has been missing since joining Real Madrid.
Despite his talent, he has never managed to establish himself as a regular starter for Los Blancos, often finding himself on the fringes.
With the January transfer window approaching, Vallejo’s departure could mark the end of a frustrating chapter at Real Madrid.
A move to Rayo Vallecano could offer him a fresh start, allowing him to rediscover his form and prove his capabilities in Spanish football’s top flight.
If negotiations go smoothly, the deal could be mutually beneficial, giving Vallejo the platform to reignite his career while strengthening Rayo’s defence.
