Modesto – profile and recent years
Ruiego Modesto, a 26‑year‑old winger, plays in Serie A for Udinese. In February this year he rejected a transfer offer from Jagiellonia Białystok, opting instead for a loan to Palermo in Serie B. During his time at the Sicilian club he helped Palermo reach the semi‑finals of the promotion playoffs, scoring a goal in the two‑legged tie, although Palermo ultimately lost to Catanzaro.
Modesto is under contract with Udinese until the summer of 2029. His market value is estimated at €1.8 million, and his transfer to Udinese from AIK Stockholm in 2020 cost €2 million.
Raków – motivation and negotiations
Raków Częstochowa, currently at the bottom of the Ekstraklasa table, wants to strengthen its squad. According to Tomasz Włodarczyk, the club is again interested in Ruiego Modesto. In an interview on the Meczyki channel, Włodarczyk said: “Raków is asking very strongly for Ruiego Modesto. Medaliki and Jagiellonia also wanted him earlier.”
Despite the interest, the transfer is still far from finalised. Modesto remains at Udinese, with his contract running until 2029. The €1.8 million valuation means negotiations could be prolonged.
Ekstraklasa situation and upcoming challenge
Raków Częstochowa began the season with three consecutive defeats – 1:2 against Wisła Płock, Śląsk Wrocław and Cracovia. The club must quickly improve results to avoid relegation. The next challenge awaits Raków this Thursday, when they will face Hajduk Split in the return leg of the Conference League play‑off round.
