English club Bournemouth has been closely watching Rayan’s progress during the current World Cup. His remarkable performance in the Brazilian team’s 3-0 victory against Scotland, in the third round of Group C last Wednesday, drew particular attention.
The British club’s new technical team, now under the direction of German coach Marco Rose, expresses great satisfaction with the striker’s performance. This topic has even been widely discussed in recent days among various members of the club’s football department.
Despite Rayan’s accelerated appreciation, the situation does not cause concern for Marco Rose. ESPN understands that the young Brazilian talent is considered untouchable and out of the European transfer market this summer, underlining Bournemouth’s strategy of retaining its key assets following a significant investment.
English directors are working with the firm objective of keeping the striker for the next 2026/27 season. They expect the number 37 to play an even more crucial role in the team, having played in 15 matches and contributed five goals and two assists in his first six months on British soil.
At just 19 years old, Rayan arrived at Bournemouth in the second half of the previous season. The negotiation with Vasco was concluded for a global value of 35 million euros, of which 28.5 million were fixed and another 6.5 million in variables.
