Vasco da Gama has received an offer from FC Barcelona to recruit teenage star Rayan, with whom the Catalan club would already have a contract.
Alejandro Grimaldo and Denzel Dumfries are among the six full-backs FC Barcelona is reportedly considering in the transfer market in an effort to bolster their defence. However, the Catalan team continues to pay close attention to the gem market, and the recruiting department of the Spanish powerhouses has taken notice of a young Brazilian prospect.
In fact, Barca has made an offer to Vasco da Gama for Rayan, according to Brazilian writer Joel Silva, who has more than 40,000 followers on X. Although the offer’s exact value is unknown, it would be less than the 19-year-old striker’s €40 million (£35 million) release clause.
The top clubs in Europe have been keeping an eye on this right winger or striker for a while. As a result, PSG was connected to the next Estevao during the most recent summer transfer window, while Chelsea was lately pursuing the Brazil Under-20 international. In South America, Rayan is undoubtedly impressive.
Barcelona reportedly make offer for Rayan
Joel Silva on Colina em Foco claims that Rayan has received an offer from Barcelona, although it falls short of his €40 million release clause. He currently has a little over a year remaining on his contract, which runs until the end of 2026. According to Ekrem Konur, the offer is between €25 million and €30 million.
Rayan has been under observation by the Catalan powerhouses for a while. He started playing with Vasco at the age of sixteen, and in 2023 he became the team’s youngest goal scorer. The director of Football Deco appears to believe that he might be a strategic move in the future, and if his current trend continues, his worth will only increase.
Spending a lot of money on Rayan at this point in his career, though, would raise some questions. Less than two years earlier, the Blaugrana signed Vitor Roque for €30 million with €31 million in variables in a similar transaction. Following a lacklustre first half of the season, he was loaned to Real Betis before being transferred back to Palmeiras in Brazil for around what they had paid for him.
