Mundo Deportivo has reported that Atlético de Madrid is making efforts to loan out Saúl Ñíguez, with Rayo Vallecano emerging as a potential destination. The club is looking to loan Saúl Ñíguez to Rayo Vallecano, which appears to be the most likely option. Saúl has previously played at Rayo Vallecano and is remembered fondly there. Raúl Martín Presa, the president of Rayo Vallecano, is reportedly open to Saúl's arrival, as the club has previously conducted similar operations with players such as Falcao and James Rodríguez. Saúl has one year remaining on his contract and a high salary of 14 million euros gross, which complicates his transfer. During his last loan to Sevilla, Atlético covered 80% of his salary, and they are seeking a similar arrangement for this transfer. In the event that the Rayo Vallecano option does not materialize, Trabzonspor from Turkey has also expressed interest in Saúl.
