Daily: Many teams want to sign Latiu, but Rayo Vallecano insists on a transfer fee of no less than 25 million euros

Recently, "Daily Sports" talked about the future of Rayo Vallecano's right back Latiu. They said that many teams are interested in signing this player, but the club insists on a transfer fee of no less than 25 million euros.

The 27-year-old Latiu's performance at Rayo Vallecano has attracted attention across Europe. Although he has a release clause of 25 million euros, this summer, despite several clubs being interested in him, no deal was reached. Team president Plaza rejected all offers lower than the release fee, an attitude that made the players unhappy.

Latiu joined Rayo Vallecano in 2023 for only 800,000 euros, and his outstanding performance helped the team get the opportunity to participate in the European War. He was disappointed with the club's decision and said: "What is shown is only half the story, and those who speak are not always what they seem."

Recently, Rayo Vallecano bought full ownership of Latiu from Villarreal for 5 million euros (3.5 million fixed + 1.5 million floating). Villarreal retained a buy-back option and a portion of future transfer fees, which explains why Plaza insisted on reaching a release clause of €25 million.

Nevertheless, Latiu's commitment to the team remains firm and he is one of the most trusted players by head coach Inigo Perez. He performed well in La Liga, going all out in every game and showing excellent technical, physical and tactical abilities. He is the fastest in La Liga at 34.7 km/h, and he is also an excellent defender who can effectively handle one-on-one situations.

Latiu is not only fast, but also has excellent offensive ability. He can create threats on the wing and create opportunities for his teammates. He contributed two goals and three assists last season and has already recorded one assist this season. He also has a very good mentality and dares to face world-class players, such as his performance against Vinicius.

Latiu's current contract with Rayo Vallecano ends on June 30, 2028, with a release fee of only 25 million euros. Taking into account his age, experience and all-round ability, he will be a popular figure in the transfer market next summer.
