Diego Méndez Leaves Rayo Vallecano After Club Declines Contract Option

Diego Méndez, who joined Rayo Vallecano in 2019, saw his contract expire in 2025 after the club declined the three optional years. The midfielder had been a key figure in the club's midfield, but injuries and limited playing time hampered his progress.

With the option not exercised, Méndez is now a free agent and exploring new opportunities. The decision marks the end of a six‑year association with the club.
