Rayo Vallecano has shown interest in acquiring Real Betis's young talent Nobel Mendy. The 20-year-old defender, who is of Senegalese and Guinea-Bissauan descent, joined Betis from Paris FC a year ago but only appeared in five matches last season. Rangers are seen as their primary competitors for his acquisition. Furthermore, Club Brugge and FC Basel are said to be interested in the player as well. Transfer expert Matteo Moretto noted the competitive environment for Mendy, with Rayo Vallecano appearing as a strong candidate. The interest from various clubs highlights his potential despite his limited playtime for Betis. His contract with the Spanish club is valid until June 30, 2027, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value at €4.00m.
