Andrei Ratiu
27-Year-Old
Rayo Vallecano
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Ratiu's contributions might not always appear in the stat sheet, but the Romanian was one of the most consistent right-backs in La Liga when looking outside of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and FC Barcelona in 2024/25. Last season, he recorded two goals, three assists, 37 chances created and 77 crosses in 35 appearances (34 starts). Those numbers give him a solid floor in most formats, and a move higher up the pitch late in the campaign could be a boost going into 2025/26. His importance should only grow and he could be a sneaky late-round grab in fantasy drafts if he starts more matches in an attacking role.

Consistent on right flank
Ratiu recorded two goals, three assists, 37 chances created, 77 crosses, 71 tackles, 27 interceptions and 62 clearances across 35 appearances (34 starts) in LaLiga.
ANALYSIS
Ratiu was coming off an impressive campaign with Romania in the 2024 EUROS and delivered at a high level all season long in 2024/25 as well. Arguably one of the best players for Rayo Vallecano this season, he's been linked with a move to a bigger club for quite some time, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him leave Rayo in the summer. If he stays, though, he'd be a key player for the club once again.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could head to Italy
Ratiu is close to completing a move to the Italian Serie A, according to Spanish outlet Union Rayo.
ANALYSIS
Ratiu was one of the standout players for Rayo Vallecano in the 2024/25 season, and it's not surprising to see the right-back getting interest from other clubs in Europe. Lazio and Roma are keen on him, though Villarreal could also re-sign him. Rayo aren't willing to let him leave unless any team pays the release clause.
