Sergio Camello

Executive Summary

Sergio Camello Pérez is a centre-forward born on 10 February 2001 and currently at Rayo Vallecano. The start of LaLiga 2026-27 has been sharp in front of goal. He scored twice against Barcelona on 31 August 2026, an early well-taken finish and a strong header from a corner late on, and he has seven goals in the first seven jornadas of the campaign.

Playing Style and Key Attributes

Camello operates as a central reference who finds space inside the box. The Barcelona game showed a composed finish under pressure and an ability to attack the ball in the air, with the second goal coming from a corner delivery. He has been decisive in tight matches, opening the scoring against Alavés in the second round of the 2026-27 campaign. Sources point to consistent growth in output at Rayo, with 41 appearances and eight goals in 2025-26 after three goals in 25 league games the season before.

Career and Recent Context

Camello came through the Atlético de Madrid academy, moving from Atlético de Madrid U17 in January 2017 through U18 and U19 before reaching Atlético Madrileño in March 2019. The permanent return was completed in August 2023 for a fee of €5m.

Transfers and Outlook

Interest is active. Elche made initial contact to negotiate an acquisition, according to journalist Cristian Egea, with Rayo Vallecano holding Camello until June 2027. Atlético de Madrid retains a buy-back option that allows the club to repurchase him until June 2027. The clause keeps a return to the Metropolitano open while Camello continues to build his profile in LaLiga.
