Vasco could lose Rayan this season, find out why | OneFootball

According to the newspaper O Dia, the forward Rayan, just 19 years old, might leave Vasco da Gama this season. The young player, who is Vasco's standout in 2025, has attracted interest from European clubs and is expected to receive new inquiries at the end of the Brazilian Championship.

Despite his high profile, Rayan was left out of Carlo Ancelotti's list for the Brazilian National Team friendlies against Senegal and Tunisia on November 15 and 18. Vasco is trying to renew the player's contract, which is valid until the end of 2026, and is working to convince him to stay at São Januário. The management sees the athlete as a key part of the club's sports project and dreams of seeing him play in the 2026 World Cup.

The call-up, however, has become more distant. The National Team will only return to the field in March 2026, before the World Cup, and Rayan will need to overcome strong competition in the offensive sector to earn an opportunity with the Italian coach.

This season, the forward played 47 matches, scored 16 goals, and provided one assist, being the second top scorer for Vasco, only behind the Argentine Pablo Vegetti.
