English club already moving behind the scenes

Tottenham’s interest is serious and has already turned into concrete actions. According to the journalist, the English club sent scouts to Rio de Janeiro to observe the player up close. In addition, Spurs representatives are reportedly already in talks with Vasco and working on the procedures to obtain a work visa for Rayan in the United Kingdom, getting ahead of a possible transfer.

Negotiation values could reach 30 million euros

The deal is not expected to reach the amount of the release clause. The article points out that Tottenham does not intend to pay the full clause, but is seeking a direct agreement with Vasco. The sale of Rayan is valued between 20 and 30 million euros (approximately R$124 million to R$187 million). Another English club, Nottingham Forest, has also shown interest in the striker.

The 19-year-old player, who has scored 14 goals this season, is praised in Europe for his speed, physical strength, and intensity.
