Marca has reported on Rayo Vallecano's interest in acquiring Fran Pérez from Valencia. Rayo Vallecano is keen on Pérez, a Valencia player whose contract runs until 2026. The coach of Valencia, Carlos Coberán, does not consider Pérez to be a vital part of the team, prompting Rayo Vallecano to keep a close watch on market developments to potentially secure his signing. Pérez is known for his versatility, being capable of playing on both wings, which aligns with Rayo's current needs. However, Coberán is hesitant to allow his departure without having a suitable replacement lined up. Pérez, who is 23 years old and born in 2002, understands that his opportunities to play next season may be limited, even though he has been featured in all the summer friendlies so far. Rayo Vallecano is particularly drawn to Pérez's ability to operate effectively on both the right and left sides, as they are in search of a winger with such flexibility. Nonetheless, Coberán is cautious about releasing Pérez because of the club's difficulties in acquiring new players. This scenario echoes the summer 2023 transfer window when Pérez's proposed transfer to Elche was stopped by Baraja due to similar issues. Furthermore, Elche, now led by coach Eder Sarabia, has renewed their interest in Pérez, who is notably the son of former player Rufete.
