Andrei Ratiu has become one of the great revelations of the season in LaLiga. The Romanian full-back, currently playing for Rayo Vallecano, is having a brilliant season with 27 games played, two goals, and three assists, figures that reflect his impact in Iñigo Pérez's scheme. His performance has not gone unnoticed, and several renowned teams such as FC Barcelona, Tottenham, Roma, and Bayer Leverkusen have already inquired about him.

However, it is Villarreal who is in pole position to secure his services. The Castellón club retained 50% of the player's rights when he left their academy, allowing them to secure his return for just 12.5 million euros, half of Rayo Vallecano's release clause.

There will be no negotiation, Ratiu will only leave through his clause

Rayo Vallecano has no intention to negotiate and refers to the full release clause set at 25 million. Nevertheless, Villarreal could leverage their privileged position to outmaneuver other suitors and close a strategic deal for the future.

Ratiu's excellent season has been crucial for Rayo to remain in the mid-to-upper part of the table, just three points away from European qualification. His continuity will be vital for the Madrid-based team, but retaining him appears increasingly challenging. With Villarreal ready to make a strong bid for his return, the summer looks set to be eventful for the Romanian international.
