Rayo Vallecano has officially confirmed the signing of Nobel Mendy, who leaves Real Betis to join the Madrid club. This move has been finalized following the execution of the purchase option agreed upon last summer. Mendy, a Senegalese center-back, has signed with Rayo Vallecano until 2030. The club has paid around 3.5 million euros plus bonuses for 80% of his rights, while Betis retains 20% of any future sale. This operation is beneficial for both Rayo and Betis, as it helps balance the accounts of the Seville club while strengthening Rayo's defense. With this signing, Rayo Vallecano aims to enhance its squad to tackle the challenges of the upcoming season in La Liga.
