The departure of James Rodríguez from Rayo Vallecano has left a void in the squad that the club is looking to fill quickly. After terminating the Colombian's contract, the board has identified Luis Palma, the winger from Celtic, as the leading candidate to strengthen the attack and bring dynamism to the Vallecas team.

Despite having players like Isi Palazón, Jorge de Frutos, and Álvaro García on the wings, the arrival of the Honduran international is seen as an opportunity to diversify the offensive options. According to sources close to the club, negotiations with the player have already progressed, awaiting the agreement between the two entities to finalize the deal.

Luis Palma, the candidate to replace James Rodríguez

Rayo's plan includes an initial loan for Luis Palma, with the intention of securing a buyout clause for 2.5 million euros. This approach would allow the club to assess his performance before committing financially in the long term. Palma has had limited involvement at Celtic this season, which could facilitate discussions for his exit.

At 24 years old and with international experience, the Honduran would be a strategic addition for Rayo. His versatility and ability to pose a threat from the wings make him a promising reinforcement for the second half of the campaign.

The Rayo sporting department is confident in finalizing this deal in the coming days, thereby solidifying an attack that aims to keep the team competitive in the season's final stretch. The signing of Luis Palma, if completed, could mark a significant turning point in the franjirrojo's aspirations.
