The operation is completed in the middle of the winter transfer market, with the Moroccan international determined to leave in order to gain minutes and keep his chances of going to the World Cup. The harmony with Iñigo Pérez has been crucial for the player choosing Vallecas.

Context and Negotiation Details

The agreement was signed after Akhomach passed the medical examination and the club made his signing official. The attacker, raised in La Masia, arrives in Vallecas on a loan basis, after extending his link with the original club until 2028. In this scenario, the player prioritized a destination where he could compete and gain presence in the starting eleven.

Institutionally, Rayo Vallecano's announcement comes with the coach's commitment to his arrival. Within the dressing room, the figure of Iñigo Pérez has been crucial in accommodating him in the offensive line. He can perform in any attacking position, a versatility highly valued by the vallecano team. At this point, the team's information is available through the Rayo Vallecano lineup.

The player's original club is also depicted in the operation. Before the loan, Villarreal extended the player's contract until 2028, a move that underscores the yellow submarine's commitment to his development. Details about the Castellonense club can be consulted in the lineup of Villarreal.

Competition and Final Choice

The attacker had several options "on the table" for this market. Leaving was his priority, with the goal of reaching the World Cup and, for that, he needed more playing time. A direct conversation with Rayo's coach was the factor that tipped the scales against other interested parties, including Getafe, Mallorca, Osasuna, and many others.
