Overview
- Multiple outlets report Bournemouth is close to signing 19-year-old Rayan from Vasco da Gama, with a medical expected shortly and final confirmation still pending.
- The proposed package is reported at up to €35 million, which would become Vasco’s record sale if completed, surpassing Paulinho’s €18.5 million move in 2018/19.
- Rayan drew interest from several European clubs, with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund not pursuing a deal after Vasco’s previously cited €45–50 million valuation.
- The Brazil youth international broke through in 2025 with 14 goals in 34 Série A matches and has featured both on the right wing and as a central forward.
- The move follows Bournemouth’s winter sale of Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City for roughly €70–72 million, with Rayan expected to help cover the attacking void.
