BarcelonaRaúl de Tomás is very close to becoming a new player for Rayo Vallecano. The Madrid striker has signed his exit this Monday through the back door of Espanyol. Sources from the white-and-blue entity assure ARA that the negotiations are very advanced, but not yet closed. The officiality of the agreement, however, could arrive in the next few hours. RDT has been in Madrid for a week negotiating his return to Vallecas and will only return to Barcelona to collect his belongings. The striker will immediately join Rayo’s training schedule, but will not be able to play an official game with his former team until January, when the deadline to register new players in the League will reopen.
