According to AS, the transfer of Rayane Belaid to Rayo Vallecano is imminent. The club and Atletico Madrid are very close to finalizing a loan deal for the player. Rayane Belaid is a 21-year-old attacking midfielder with Spanish and Algerian nationality. Last March, Atletico renewed the contract for the player, who has 7 caps and 1 goal for Spain U20, until 2029, and he made his LaLiga debut last season under Simeone's management. Belaid is considered to have been developed by Fernando Torres from the youth team up to the reserves. He had offers from the Segunda Division last summer but chose to stay with Atletico's B team for another year. He will now seek playing time in the top division, joining a Rayo attack that required reinforcement after Ilias Akhomach returned to Villarreal following his own loan spell. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €600k.
