Spurs eyeing Brazilian wonderkid! Tottenham consider swoop to sign Vasco da Gama youngster rated at £34m but face fight with Chelsea and Liverpool
In addition to Rayan’s performances for his club, the 19-year-old is believed to have a £34m ($46m) release clause, which appeals to potential suitors, who feel confident they can negotiate that fee down.
Vasco, though, will have seen how much Palmeiras sold Estevao to Chelsea for in 2024 and expect a similar fee should they be forced into selling Rayan.
The club’s manager, Fernando Diniz, has already claimed the teenager is a superstar-in-waiting, telling Brazilian media: “A very rare player. At the age of 17, he has that maturity. He’s going to help Vasco a lot. He’s a special boy.”
He added: “(Rayan) is an extremely different player, one of the few Brazilian football forwards who is complete. It’s high, fast, left-handed, kicks well, went on to enter the area and make head goal, it picks up well, closes well. You can play high-end, fake 9, 9, at the other end.
