Rayo Vallecano are likely to be set to lose right-back Andrei Ratiu next summer as interest grows in the Romania international. Valencia is reported to be keeping tabs on him, and now, interest has come from the Premier League.
As reported by Caught OffsideTottenham Hotspur have registered their interest in Ratiu, as they prepare for a possible approach from Real Madrid for Pedro Porro, who is on the right-wing list of Los Blancos.
Ratiu is reported to have a release clause of 25 million euros in this Rayo contract, and if this is activated, it would be a very nice amount to receive for the Vallecas club. However, it is also noted that they will be open to negotiation, which means that the Spurs could sign him for less if they push for a deal.
It will be hard for Ray to retain the services of Ratiu if Spurs come calling, especially since it is reported that he is eager for a new challenge.
