Barcelona could receive a significant boost in their defensive reinforcements, with reports from Mundo Deportivo indicating that Rayo Vallecano full-back Andrei Ratiu could be allowed to leave the club in January.
This possible move could be a great opportunity for Barcelona to strengthen its squad as it looks to continue competing at the highest level.
Ratiu has been one of the most prominent players in the first part of the season, attracting the attention of several important clubs.
His impressive performances have made him one of the most sought-after players and he now looks increasingly likely to make a move during the winter transfer window.
The full-back’s current contract extends until June 2028, with an important termination clause set at 25 million euros. While this is a considerable sum, it may not be enough to deter clubs from following their progress.
Barcelona is in the race
Barcelona, along with top clubs such as Atlético de Madrid, Tottenham, Bayer Leverkusen and Roma, are closely monitoring Ratiu’s situation.
These clubs view the Romanian defender as a valuable asset and given his recent performances, he has quickly risen to the top of their lists.
Barcelona, in particular, have shown interest, with Ratiu’s name coming up during recent talks between sporting director Deco and Pedri’s agents, who also represent the 25-year-old full-back.
Other clubs, such as Tottenham and Bayer Leverkusen, are also exploring the possibility of signing Ratiu, especially in the event that their current right-backs, Pedro Porro and Jeremie Frimpong, leave.
As the winter transfer window approaches, Rayo Vallecano’s chances of retaining Ratiu diminish. With so many prominent clubs showing interest, he looks increasingly likely to leave, and Rayo are preparing for a possible sale.
The situation will escalate in the coming days and the full-back’s future is likely to be decided soon.
