The desire was so great, and was put on the table directly in meetings, that Vasco considered releasing Rayan at first. However, a new disagreement with Bournemouth put the agreement in question.
The English signaled a proposal along these lines, but later presented lower values. O UOL found that this stance irritated Vasco’s directors.
Another factor that keeps Vasco irreducible is the athlete’s economic rights. The Rio club only has 70%, and values could fall by another 10% at the end of negotiations.
Amid the problems behind the scenes, Fernando Diniz insists on staying. People linked to Cruz-Maltino’s day-to-day life report that the coach speaks to the player and his father, Valkmar, every day about the subject.
Him staying pleases me, of course. Pleases all Vasco fans. He is very decisive. I told everyone: Rayan has the potential to be a global star. If I were to think of Rayan as a son, I think he has to stay another season. It would be great for Vasco and Brazilian football

The English club, in turn, is aware of the difficulty in negotiations and gave Vasco an “ultimatum”. If a deal is not reached this week, Bournemouth will withdraw from negotiations.
