Moroccan international winger Ilias Akhomach has been loaned to Rayo Vallecano until the end of the season, as part of an agreement reached with Villarreal CF, the club announced.

Prior to this move, Villarreal extended the player’s contract for an additional season, tying him to the club until June 2028, the Spanish team said in a press release.

Akhomach, who arrived at Villarreal in the summer of 2023, will now wear the colors of the Madrid club until the end of the 2025-2026 season. The loan does not include a buy option, according to the same source.

For its part, Rayo Vallecano has officially announced the arrival of the 21-year-old winger on its social media accounts.

The Moroccan international is thus making his gradual return to competition after a long knee injury that kept him off the pitch for several months.
