The Argentine goalkeeper Augusto Batalla, aged 28, will bolster Rayo Vallecano's goalkeeping squad following a loan agreement reached by the Madrid club with River Plate for the 2024-25 season. Batalla, who has experience in Spanish football, had reinforced Granada last season during the winter transfer market. He played in 17 matches, conceded 28 goals, and kept three clean sheets, but was unable to prevent Granada from being relegated.

Augusto Batalla, a 28-year-old Argentine goalkeeper, joins Rayo Vallecano on loan for the 2024-25 season. The agreement was reached between Rayo Vallecano and River Plate. Previously, Batalla played for Granada, appearing in 17 matches and conceding 28 goals.

Augusto Batalla, after a six-month loan at Granada, has decided to return to play in LaLiga, this time for Rayo Vallecano. The Argentine goalkeeper joins on a temporary basis for one season. The South American club does not intend to permanently part with the player. This move may put the future of Miguel Ángel Morro, a youth player, into question as he might be loaned out.

River Plate will loan Augusto Batalla to Rayo Vallecano for one year without any fee or purchase option. Batalla had a good season with Granada despite their relegation. He will sign a contract renewal with River Plate before traveling to Europe this weekend.
