"Barcelona" is seriously interested in Rayan Vitor, a young winger shining at Brazilian club Vasco da Gama, who is 1.85m tall with a strong physique and excellent technique.
İdman.Biz reports that according to journalist Ekrem Konur, the Catalan club has prepared an offer for Rayan worth 25-30 million euros (approximately 46-55 million AZN). The reason for this move is that many European clubs are already interested in the player.
Rayan is currently one of the brightest attackers in Brazilian football. His performance has also attracted the attention of Premier League clubs. It is reported that "Roma" is negotiating for the player's transfer, but no concrete agreement has been reached yet. Nevertheless, "Barcelona" continues to wait for a final decision. The club is discussing the logic of such a high investment, considering that the right position is already quite full.
According to reports, the fact that Rayan has been followed by Barcelona's sporting director Deco for many years also influences the matter. Deco discovered his talent even before coming to Barça and has been closely following the player since his time as an agent. The Catalan club knows the risks in the Brazilian market well, especially since the failure of the Vitor Roque operation is still being discussed. Interestingly, the club had previously refused to buy Estevao, who is now shining at Chelsea.
Despite all this, "Barcelona" may be in a strong position in future official negotiations for Rayan. The fact that the player's manager is close to "Barcelona" also increases the possibility of the deal. Internal reports obtained at the club are positive and Rayan's name is already on the table. However, the final decision will depend on the club's financial capabilities during the winter or summer window.
It should be noted that Rayan recently extended his contract with Vasco da Gama until 2028. With this, the club shows that it will only agree to his sale for a high price. Although the player's current market value is approximately 18 million euros (approximately 33 million AZN), the Brazilian club will not sell him for less than 25 million euros (approximately 46 million AZN). "Barcelona", meanwhile, is still thinking.
It should be noted that in May, "Beşiktaş" offered Vasco da Gama 7 million euros (13 ) for Rayan. The other side announced that the transfer value was 15 million euros (28 million AZN).
