Mallorca showed interest in Luiz Felipe and made an offer, but he preferred to join Rayo Vallecano instead. The former Lazio defender, who had a challenging loan spell at Marseille due to recurring injuries, chose Rayo Vallecano to embrace their project. Despite offers from both Italy and Spain, Luiz Felipe will terminate his contract with Marseille and sign a one-year deal with Rayo, aiming to regain his form and contribute to their defense, especially as they prepare for the Conference League after a 25-year absence from European competitions.
