Raúl de Tomás leaving Rayo Vallecano?

Mundo Deportivo has reported on Raúl de Tomás's loan transfer to Al-Wakrah in the Qatar League for the upcoming season. Raúl de Tomás is set to play the next season on loan at Al-Wakrah in the Qatar League, a move that was officially announced by Rayo Vallecano. De Tomás, who developed his skills in the Real Madrid academy, will be leaving Rayo Vallecano after spending the last three seasons with them. He had previously been on loan to Rayo Vallecano from Real Madrid during the 2017/18 and 2018/19 seasons. At 30, he is looking to regain his top scoring form at Al-Wakrah, having achieved 38 goals in 66 matches during his initial two-year stint at Rayo and 45 goals in 89 matches with Espanyol. However, his goal-scoring has recently declined, with only 8 goals scored in the last three seasons at Rayo.

Marca reports on Raúl de Tomás's uncertain future at Rayo Vallecano amid speculation of a potential departure. Raúl de Tomás has bid farewell to Rayo Vallecano, mentioning in his social media post that the last three years have not been positive for him. He did not clarify his future, leading to speculation about a potential departure from the club. Despite being the most expensive signing in Rayo's history and having a contract until 2027, his lack of playtime and disappearance from team selections due to a 'common illness' have fueled rumors of a possible exit.

Raúl de Tomás is set to leave Rayo Vallecano despite having a contract until 2027. He has communicated his decision to leave for Qatari football to his coach Iñigo Pérez and the club's sporting director David Cobeño. He is expected to join Al Wakrah SC, currently managed by Vicente Moreno, with whom he has a strong relationship from their time at Espanyol. Raúl de Tomás has played only four matches this season, partly due to a long illness.

Vicente Moreno, the new coach of Al Wakrah SC, is interested in bringing Raúl de Tomás (RDT) to the club as part of his project in the Qatar League. Moreno values RDT highly and believes he can elevate the team's performance. However, there is some uncertainty regarding the budget authorization for this operation by the Qatari football authorities. RDT had his best performance under Moreno when they were both at Espanyol, which led to RDT being called up to the Spanish national team. Since joining Rayo, RDT has not been able to replicate his previous form.

Raúl De Tomás is not in the plans of his current coach at Rayo Vallecano and has not played for some time. Despite his lack of recent competitive play, Valencia's sporting management appreciates his quality and goal-scoring skills, making him a potential target.

Raúl de Tomás is expected to leave Rayo Vallecano during the upcoming winter transfer window.

Raúl de Tomás expressed interest in returning to RCD Espanyol, even willing to forgive some money. However, his representative, Manuel García Quilón, clarified that there has been no formal or material approach from Espanyol. De Tomás has received offers from other leagues that do not interest him as he prefers to play in a more competitive league.

Raúl de Tomás has yet to play any minutes this season, sparking speculation regarding a possible transfer in January. Reports indicate that Barcelona is interested in bringing him back to RCD Espanyol, where he previously had a successful stint. Although Rayo Vallecano's management has publicly emphasized his importance to the team, his current role and the significant expense of maintaining him on the roster imply a potential exit.

Raúl de Tomás was expected to leave in the transfer market but remains a key player for Iñigo Pérez and Martín Presa. The club president stated: "RDT is a great player. He has quality and anyone who wants Raúl de Tomás has to pay for him." Despite rumors, the coach never felt he might leave and the player didn't express any intention to leave.

Raúl de Tomás could leave Rayo Vallecano for a club in Saudi Arabia.

Raúl de Tomás, also known as RDT, has not received offers that meet expectations. He has a contract with Rayo Vallecano until June 2027. Rayo Vallecano has asked the player for extra effort this campaign.
