Ilias Akhomach is very close to becoming a new Rayo Vallecano player

Rayo Vallecano

Ilias Akhomach is very close to going on loan for the rest of the season. The operation, aimed at giving him more prominence after his knee injury and a first half of the season with fewer minutes than expected, will be finalized this week if no setbacks arise. The club and the player had already agreed that the best approach was a loan.

With the scenario defined, the chosen destination is Rayo Vallecano. The forward needs competitive continuity, and the franjirrojo team offers an immediate context to accumulate minutes. The roadmap for both parties was to leave in January and complete the final stretch of the season in La Liga.

Operation Keys

Before finalizing the loan, the agreement required a contract renewal or extension. At Villarreal, Akhomach is valued as a strategic player for the future, a condition that the Yellow Submarine aimed to secure for the upcoming years. The intention was to trigger the extension and then close the loan within this week if no impediments arise.

The move responds to a specific sporting need: after the knee injury, the player has not had the prominence he expected in the first part of the season. The Castellon club considers him a future asset, which prompted them to act swiftly and seek a renewal before the next season.
