There was no official proposal, but Vasco is already aware of the interest and is awaiting the offer. The first to talk about monitoring the Germans was the channel “Hill in Focus”.
Cruz-Maltino asks for around R$325 million for Rayan, but admits negotiating for just under R$300 million. The report had already anticipated an offer from Zenit of R$ 195 million, promptly refused.
The striker was also not excited about the idea of playing in Russia. The idea, as mentioned, is to go to one of the five largest markets in Europe: England, Italy, Germany, Spain or France.
In addition to the two clubs mentioned, Barcelona also investigated Rayan’s situation, but interest cooled. The Catalan team runs on the outside.
Vasco’s initial idea was to sell the young striker in the July window, when European clubs tend to spend more to reinforce themselves. However, the growing harassment from the Old Continent could speed up negotiations.
Rayan scored 20 times and provided one assist in 57 games for Vasco this season. He was elected the revelation of the Brazilian Championship and acted as a central figure in the campaign that ended with runner-up in the Copa do Brasil.
