Spain and Nigeria defender Mujaid Sadick has joined Rayo Vallecano from Genk on loan, adding a 26-year-old centre-back to the La Liga club’s squad for the 2026-27 season.
Sadick’s move to Madrid was completed on 1 September, with the loan agreement running until 30 June 2027. No transfer fee has been disclosed for the temporary switch.
The right-footed defender arrives from Belgian side Genk, where he had not made an appearance in the opening four possible matches of the Jupiler Pro League campaign. He had also not started a game or registered a goal or assist before moving to Rayo.
Sadick began his senior career with Deportivo La Coruna, joining the club from their reserve side, Deportivo Fabril, in July 2019. He spent two seasons with Deportivo before moving to Genk in July 2021 in a €1.70m transfer.
The defender has remained under contract with Genk while completing his move to Spain. His temporary spell at Rayo is scheduled to end on 30 June 2027, when he is due to return to the Belgian club.
Born in Logrono, Sadick stands 1.83m tall and is listed as a central defender. He developed through Deportivo’s youth system after joining from Deportivo’s Under-19 side in 2018, giving him experience of Spanish football before his move abroad.
Rayo have secured Sadick’s arrival as they compete in La Liga, while Genk retain his registration beyond the current season. The player’s recorded market value is €5m, although that figure is not the fee for the loan.
Sadick has now formally switched from Genk to Rayo Vallecano on a deal that keeps him at the Spanish club until the end of June 2027.
