Vasco's Youngster Ranks 18th

In the ranking released by CIES, Rayan appears in the 18th position. He is one of only three Brazilians to feature in the top 20, alongside Estêvão (Chelsea), who ranked fourth, and Pedrinho (Zenit), who closed the list in twentieth.

The presence of Rayan in such a select list, which includes young talents from giants like Barcelona, Real Madrid, and PSG, is a remarkable achievement. CIES's methodology is based on performance data, minutes played, and the competitive level of the championship.

Ranking Validates European Interest

This international recognition has a direct strategic impact for Vasco. The CIES endorsement further enhances the club's main asset. Additionally, it justifies the strong interest the player has been receiving from European giants. The management, already working to renew his contract, now has another strong argument to demand an astronomical offer for his talent.
