Report: Alex Galvez signs pre-contract with Werder Bremen

Rayo Vallecano defender Alex Galvez has reportedly signed a pre-contract with Werder Bremen that will see the centre-back move to Germany at the end of the season.

The 24-year-old, who is regarded as one of the brightest defenders in La Liga, is widely expected to depart Rayo in the summer when his contract comes to an end.

A number of European clubs have been linked with his services, but, according to Rayototal.es, Galvez has agreed a three-year deal with Bremen that will start on July 1.

Galvez, who joined Rayo from Sporting Gijon in 2012, came through the youth system at Villarreal.
