The club clarified in an official statement that Akhomach has joined Rayo Vallecano on loan from Villarreal, with the contract set to last until the end of the current season. This move reflects the coaching staff's confidence in his attacking abilities.

Akhomach is a graduate of Barcelona's academy, where he began his professional career with the first team of the Catalan club, participating in three official matches. He then moved to Villarreal in the summer of 2023 in search of more playing opportunities in La Liga.

On the international front, Ilias Akhomach gained continental experience with the Moroccan national team by participating in the Africa Cup of Nations finals, which added significant technical and mental experience to his record.

Rayo Vallecano hopes that this deal will enhance the team's offensive options during a crucial stage of the season, while Akhomach looks forward to seizing the opportunity to prove his abilities in the Spanish league competition.
