Emil Audero Mulyadi is leaving Italian football for the first time, joining Rayo Vallecano on loan from Como on the final day of Spain's summer transfer window.
The 29-year-old Indonesia international will remain with the Madrid club until the end of the 2026-27 season. Rayo acted quickly to reinforce its goalkeeper position after Augusto Batalla suffered a serious injury. Audero is expected to compete with Dani Cรกrdenas for the starting role.
Born in Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara, Audero developed at Juventus and made his first-team debut for the club on May 27, 2017. He later played for Venezia and Sampdoria, and also represented Inter Milan, Como, Palermo and Cremonese during his career in Italy.
Rayo also signed 26-year-old center back Mujaid Sadick from Belgium's Genk on loan. Sadick came through Deportivo La Coruรฑa's academy, made his senior debut against Villarreal in 2018, and moved to Genk in 2021 for a reported fee of about 1.7 million euros.
The club also loaned Etienne Eto'o, son of former Cameroon star Samuel Eto'o, to Racing de Ferrol until the end of the season. Eto'o had previously spent loan spells at Mirandรฉs and Villarreal B.
