The name of Andrei Ratiu has started to gain strength in the transfer market, attracting the interest of three heavyweight clubs in LaLiga. FC Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, and Villarreal have set their sights on the right-back of Rayo Vallecano, each with specific needs in their squad.

While the Blaugrana side is looking for an alternative to compete with Jules Koundé, the Colchoneros see him as an option to challenge Nahuel Molina's starting position. On the other hand, the Yellow Submarine considers his return as a solution to enhance their defensive rotation.

LaLiga competes for Ratiu

The 26-year-old Romanian defender has increased his value with standout performances this season. His latest display was in the draw against Sevilla, where he opened the scoring with a fantastic goal showcasing his attacking ability. Beyond the goal, his solidity on the right flank and his decision-making to join the attack have made him an essential piece for Rayo Vallecano. So far this season, he has played 25 games, scoring two goals and providing two assists, proving to be a reliable asset in both areas.

With a contract until 2028, the franjirroja club has no intention of facilitating his departure unless a club decides to pay the €25 million stated in his release clause. Villarreal, which still retains 50% of a future sale, could benefit from the operation if they ultimately choose not to bring him back. Meanwhile, Barcelona and Atlético are assessing if the investment is worth it to strengthen their defense with a player who is currently experiencing the peak of his career.
