Javi Ontiveros, a 27-year-old winger who is currently performing exceptionally well at Cádiz, has attracted the interest of Rayo Vallecano. The club is keen to strengthen their team in preparation for their European campaign. They are reportedly willing to pay Ontiveros' 10 million euro release clause, despite his ongoing injury issues that cause discomfort but have not affected his high-level performance. Rayo Vallecano had previously tried to acquire him last summer and have now resumed negotiations. Ontiveros, who is contracted with Cádiz until 2028, is considered a crucial player by coach Gaizka Garitano, making the transfer pursuit more complicated as other LaLiga clubs such as Getafe, Las Palmas, Mallorca, and Leganés have also shown interest.
