Raúl de Tomás, a 31-year-old forward, is once again a full-fledged player of Rayo Vallecano after being registered to play in LaLiga following the club's attempts to find him an exit during July and August. The striker, with a contract until 2027, is now available for Beñat San José after the summer transfer window closed.

The decision completely changes the scenario that the preseason started with. The club had informed the player that he was not initially in their plans, and De Tomás had trained separately from the group while both sides considered a loan, transfer, or contract termination.

Raúl de Tomás back in consideration for Beñat San José

The absence of an operation before the deadline has led to another outcome. Raúl de Tomás is now officially registered and can compete for playing time within a squad that seemed poised to start the season without him in recent weeks.

His situation had been publicly addressed by Beñat San José on August 19. At that time, the coach explained that the club and the player were trying to find a solution for a contract that expires in June 2027. Less than two weeks later, the solution was to keep the forward in the squad.

De Tomás returned to Vallecas this summer after ending his loan spell at Al Wakrah in Qatar prematurely. His time there included 13 official matches, only three as a starter, 431 minutes, and three goals.

An injury suffered in early 2026 hastened the end of that experience. His last official match dates back to January 7, when he played 22 minutes against Al-Arabi, meaning he returns to competition after nearly eight months without playing an official match.

Rayo Vallecano hopes to regain his goals in LaLiga

Raúl de Tomás now faces another attempt to regain continuity in Vallecas. His second spell began in 2022 when he returned from Espanyol in a deal close to €10 million, making him the club's most expensive signing at that time.

Since his return, his participation gradually decreased. In the 2022/23 season, he played 19 matches and scored four goals; in 2023/24, he featured in 28 games with two goals; whereas in 2024/25, he only played in three matches.

These numbers contrast with his first spell at Vallecas. Between 2017 and 2019, De Tomás scored 38 goals in 66 matches, including the 24 goals in the 2017/18 season that contributed to the team's promotion to LaLiga.

The registration now provides Beñat San José with an additional forward option and prevents Raúl de Tomás from remaining without a squad place until January. The next step will depend on the pitch: after nearly eight months without competing, he will need to regain match fitness to be included in Rayo Vallecano's squad and play minutes in LaLiga.
