The Spanish press makes a new announcement about the transfer of Andrei Rațiu (26 years old), the right-back of Rayo Vallecano.
Villarreal is „in pole position” to secure Rațiu’s signature, announce the Spaniards, specifying that Barcelona has removed him from the transfer list after Eric Garcia’s very good performances as a right-back towards the end of the season.
Villarreal will pay 7 million euros for Rațiu's transfer. The "Yellow Submarine" owns 50% of the Romanian's federative rights, as he was raised in the club's youth teams.
Andrei Rațiu has played 36 matches (3085 minutes) in all competitions this season at Rayo Vallecano, scoring twice and providing three assists.
He is valued at 12 million euros by Transfermarkt.
