Rayo Vallecano faces Augusto Batalla's departure | A. Batalla

Rayo Vallecano faces the possibility of losing its goalkeeper Augusto Batalla, who has been the subject of interest from Besiktas. The operation could be around seven million euros.

What has happened?

Besiktas has initiated conversations with Rayo Vallecano for the possible transfer of Augusto Batalla. The Argentine goalkeeper has been one of the players who has grown the most in value within the Madrid team.

Why is it important for Rayo Vallecano?

The departure of Augusto Batalla could generate income for Rayo Vallecano, but it would also force the team to find a reliable substitute in a market where top-level goalkeepers are not usually cheap.

What comes next?

Rayo Vallecano must decide whether to sell Augusto Batalla and whether to open a significant gap in its structure before having the new sports project fully underway. The Madrid team must also resolve its bench, as Beñat San José has gained strength as a candidate to lead the team next season.
