Seven goals in seven matches attract Italy and Mexico Sergio Camello
The 25-year-old striker Sergio Camello, who has scored seven goals in the first seven rounds of LaLiga, is facing the final year of his contract with Spain's Rayo, while clubs from Italy and Mexico are monitoring his future.
Performance and historic record
Camello has scored braces against Barcelona and Racing de Santander, and has also found the net against Real Madrid and Osasuna, adding an assist. With seven goals in seven matches, he surpasses the best start of any Rayo player in the top flight, beating Julio Álvarez's six goals in the 2002/03 campaign. In total he has accumulated 24 goals in 121 top‑flight appearances, a tally that puts him level with Guilherme and behind Álvaro García, Alberto Bueno and Jon Pérez Bolo.
Contract, value and market outlook
His link with Rayo expires on 30 June 2027, leaving nine months of contract remaining from January. Analyst Matteo Moretto places him among the names that could move the upcoming markets, noting that the proximity of the contract’s end accelerates interest from Italy and Mexico. The sports journalist highlights that the contractual situation makes Camello a priority target both in the January and the summer market.
Real Madrid rule out Haaland even if Man City punished, says Spain
Rayo signed Camello from Atlético de Madrid in 2023 for five million euros, on a four‑season contract that now reaches its final year. FotMob values the striker at around two point two million euros, although that figure does not necessarily reflect the price of a possible deal. The limited renewal window reduces the club’s bargaining space.
Borja Iglesias’s injury has opened up the centre‑forward position in the Spain national team, and Camello appears among the candidates to fill it. He has known Luis de la Fuente since the youth levels and was an Olympic champion in 2024, which raises his international profile. His output puts him in the race for the Pichichi trophy.
Before the final round, there were already talks of Premier League clubs keeping tabs, albeit without a concrete offer. If he does not renew, January could be the first real moment for interested parties to position themselves before the summer of 2027. The club will need to decide soon to avoid losing the striker without compensation.
