A. Rațiu Transfer from Rayo Vallecano to Tottenham Hotspur

Andrei Ratiu, a right-back playing for Rayo Vallecano, has garnered attention from several top European leagues following his remarkable showing in the recent European Championship. Clubs expressing interest include Tottenham, Roma, Napoli, and Bayer Leverkusen. Ratiu's agents, who also represent Pedri, mentioned during a meeting with Deco that Barcelona consistently monitors the market for right-backs. Barcelona reportedly expressed interest in Ratiu's situation, given their familiarity with him.

Tottenham Hotspur has shown interest in Andrei Ratiu as they look to bolster their defense in the forthcoming transfer market. This development comes amid speculations that Real Madrid may pursue Pedro Porro from Tottenham, prompting the need for a capable replacement for the English side. Although Ratiu's release clause is set at 25 million euros, it is understood that Rayo Vallecano is willing to negotiate, possibly facilitating a deal at a reduced price. The potential signing is seen as a strategic move for Tottenham to remain competitive among the elite Premier League clubs.

Tottenham have been keeping an eye on Rayo Vallecano's Andrei Ratiu as they prepare for the 2025 transfer windows. The Romanian right-back might be brought in to either replace or support Pedro Porro, who is considered an essential part of Ange Postecoglou’s strategy at Tottenham. The potential transfer could be made easier by Ratiu's release clause, which is approximately €25m. However, Rayo Vallecano are willing to negotiate, as Villarreal are entitled to 50% of any transfer fee. Sources indicate that Ratiu is prepared for a new challenge and might depart from Rayo Vallecano in 2025.
