La Liga
FC Barcelona has set its sights on Rayan, a young prospect from Vasco da Gama, as a possible addition to strengthen its attack in the future. With a contract until December 2025, the 18-year-old Brazilian forward is one of the options that the Barcelona board is considering, either to sign him in the summer or wait for him to become a free agent at the end of his contract.
The forward has captured the interest of the Catalan club following his impressive performance with the Brazilian national team in the South American U-20 Championship, where he helped his team secure a spot in the World Cup to be held in Chile. His versatility in the attacking line, as he can play as a right winger or center forward, makes him an intriguing profile for Hansi Flick's project.
Rayan, on FC Barcelona's Radar
At the club level, Rayan has gained experience in Vasco da Gama's first team, where he has played 41 matches, contributing with three goals and an assist. Although his numbers are not yet outstanding, his potential and ability to unsettle opponents have drawn the attention of several European clubs, with Barcelona being among the most interested.
Deco, the sporting director of Barça, continues to search for young talents to strengthen the squad in the coming years, and the opportunity to sign Rayan for free in December presents an attractive chance. However, Barcelona is also considering advancing his arrival in the summer transfer market, depending on negotiations with the Brazilian club.
With Flick's endorsement and Barcelona's need to add new pieces in attack, Rayan's option gains strength as a reinforcement with future potential.
