Rayan’s transfer blocked over €4m in agent fees | OneFootball

FC Porto attempted to secure Rayan in the last week of the transfer market, in search of a new right-winger for Francesco Farioli's squad. The 19-year-old, one of Vasco da Gama's most exciting prospects, could have strengthened the dragons, but a negotiation obstacle proved insurmountable from the start.

The club worked on the dossier with a view to reaching an agreement, but faced the demand from Rayan's representatives for an intermediary commission of around 4 million euros – a high and disproportionate amount compared to the potential revenue from the deal.

In April, a few months before he could sign without costs – as his contract was ending in December – Rayan decided to renew until the end of 2026, out of recognition for Vasco da Gama and to avoid leaving on a free transfer. This new contract includes a release clause (not officially disclosed) of 12 million euros; the club intends, in a future renewal, to increase this amount and extend the contract.

The issue of the commission was never overcome, and FC Porto ended up abandoning the process last week. Rayan played against Sport this Sunday, in the 22nd round of the Brasileirão, already aware that he would not be joining the dragons.
