According to the report, Porto will enter the market in January with two clear objectives: to sign a center-back and a winger.

Performance in 2025 for Vasco justifies the interest

Rayan’s excellent form in 2025 is what has been drawing attention. The 19-year-old forward has already scored 16 goals this season, combining his appearances for Vasco and the Brazil U-20 national team. In the last match, against Vitória, he was the standout player, scoring two goals in the 4-3 win.

With a contract until the end of 2026, Vasco remains in a strong position to negotiate its top prospect, aware that the interest is likely to intensify in the coming months.
