Uncertain future at Rayo
De Tomas has an uncertain future at Rayo Vallecano since manager Benat San Jose hasn't told the striker whether he'll be in his plans for the 2026/27 season, according to Union Rayo.
Analysis: De Tomas was registered as a first-team player, but San Jose didn't disclose if he'll be part of the squad, saying he's "waiting to hear from the club to see how we can proceed." Until there's clarity, it's unclear whether the veteran striker will be an option for a forward line that doesn't have much depth behind Sergio Camello and Alemao.
Will return to first-team training
De Tomas has been called up to train with the rest of the Rayo Vallecano first-team squad Thursday, according to Pablo Villa of MARCA.
Analysis: The striker has spent the last few weeks training on his own, and he'll get a chance to be with the rest of the group Thursday. His future remains uncertain, but he could have a shot at staying with the club if he impresses the coaching staff in the coming days.
Not in manager's plans
De Tomas won't be part of the Rayo squad for the 2026/27 season and will leave the club during the summer transfer window, according to Union Rayo.
Analysis: The veteran striker spent the 2025/26 season on loan at Al-Wakrah in the Qatar Stars League, where he notched one goal in 11 league appearances. The confirmation of his exit is only a matter of time, as manager Benat San Jose already told the veteran striker that he won't be part of the squad in the 2026/27 campaign.
