Vasco: Diniz comes clean on Rayan sale | OneFootball

The coach Fernando Diniz once again expressed his admiration for Rayan, a standout player for Vasco da Gama this season. After another great performance by the young forward, the coach made a point to highlight the player's potential and was adamant in stating that the club cannot sell him.

– “Rayan should have already been called up to the Brazilian National Team. When I arrived at Vasco, I said he was unsellable. Sell me, sell whatever you want — the field, the goalposts — but do not sell Rayan. His potential is immense, he's just at the beginning. He might be the most complete forward in Brazilian football, without a doubt,” declared Diniz.

The statement reinforces the coach's desire to keep the gem at São Januário, even amid interest from European clubs. Recently, representatives from Arsenal were at Maracanã to observe Rayan's performance in the classic match against Fluminense, and the forward's performance caught the attention of the English scouts.

Considered one of the main names of the new Vasco generation, Rayan has been decisive in important moments and has established himself as a fundamental piece in Diniz's scheme. The coach, in turn, sees the number 77 as a long-term project and a safe bet for Vasco's future.
