Raúl de Tomás Transfer from Rayo Vallecano to Al Wakrah
According to Marca, Raúl de Tomás is transferring from Rayo Vallecano to Al Wakrah on a loan until the end of the season. The announcement, made by Rayo Vallecano, highlights the transfer as a priority for the club's management. Raúl de Tomás, also known as RDT, experienced a disappointing return to Rayo Vallecano, having only made two appearances in LaLiga during the previous season. His departure was deemed necessary as he was not part of the plans of the coach or the club. This move marks his second stint outside of Spain, following his previous experience at Benfica. He will be managed by Vicente Moreno, who played a crucial role in advocating for his signing and recently transitioned from Osasuna to a managerial position in Qatar. Raúl de Tomás is looking to regain his peak performance with this new opportunity.
Mundo Deportivo reported that Raúl de Tomás was on the verge of transferring from LaLiga to Al Wakrah in Qatar. Raúl de Tomás was expected to leave LaLiga and join Al Wakrah in Qatar on a loan deal. The clubs had recently reached an agreement, and the official announcement of the move was scheduled for Saturday. The deal was described as a non-remunerated loan without a purchase option. It was noted that Vicente Moreno, the coach of Al Wakrah and former coach of Raúl de Tomás at Espanyol, had played a pivotal role in making the transfer happen. The move would enable Rayo Vallecano to offload their highest salary, which was approximately 3 million euros gross, as Al Wakrah would assume and enhance it.
Raúl de Tomás is on the verge of transferring to Al Wakrah, a club in Qatar coached by Spanish coach Vicente Moreno, with whom he shares a strong relationship from their previous collaboration at Espanyol. It is anticipated that the transfer will be announced by the end of the week, structured as a loan. The only detail left to finalize is the purchase option amount at the conclusion of the loan. Raúl de Tomás is currently under contract with Rayo Vallecano until 2027. De Tomás has experienced a difficult season at Rayo Vallecano, having played in just four matches, two of which were in the Copa del Rey, primarily due to an extended illness. This situation has resulted in dissatisfaction among fans, particularly because he is the most expensive signing in the club's history. In search of rebuilding his confidence and career, the move to Al Wakrah offers him a new opportunity.
