FC Bayern are currently discussing potential offensive reinforcements. One name that has been hotly debated recently is Rayan. However, despite numerous rumours, a transfer of the Brazilian top talent does not appear to be a realistic scenario for the time being
According to information from Sport BILD, the 19-year-old attacker from Vasco da Gama is definitely on Munich’s radar. Rayan has already been scouted and evaluated internally. However, no concrete steps have been taken so far. The German record champions are not currently planning to make a move to sign him; instead, they are observing developments from a distance
One decisive factor is likely to be the high price tag. Vasco da Gama are said to be asking a transfer fee of between 45 and 50 million euros for the attacking jewel. This amount is currently considered far too high at Säbener Straße – especially for a player who has proven himself in Brazil but has not yet made the step to Europe
Rayan plays himself into focus in Brazil
Brazilian media had previously reported that Bayern were interested in the player before transfer expert Fabrizio Romano picked up on the allegedly hot lead to Munich. According to Romano, there have been no direct negotiations between the clubs so far, but Bayern are said to have already made contact to sound out the general conditions and the player’s situation
Back in November, the BILD podcast„Bayern Insider“ reported that FC Bayern were keeping a close eye on Rayan. According to a report by UOL Esporte, the player himself is open to a move to Europe, with FC Bayern seen as a particularly attractive destination for the next step in his career
In sporting terms, Rayan has an exciting profile. The left-footer is versatile in attack, often coming in on the right wing, but can also play centrally. In Brazil’s Série A, he has scored 20 goals in 57 appearances so far, plus one assist. He has also been successful for the Brazilian U20 national team, scoring twice in eleven games.
