Andrei Rațiu (27 years old) received important news in Spain regarding his transfer to FC Barcelona.
The Romanian right-back is on the transfer list of the Catalan club, and negotiations between FC Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano for his signature will begin next week.
Furthermore, journalist Samuel Marsden announces that FC Barcelona is willing to consider potential offers for Jules Kounde, the French right-back of the team, due to his inconsistency. This is good news for Rațiu, as the right-back position at Camp Nou would become available.
Rațiu has a release clause of 25 million euros in his contract with Rayo Vallecano.
He has played 44 matches (3487 minutes), scoring one goal and providing three assists in all competitions this season for the Madrid-based team.
