The harassment over forward Rayan, the main asset of Vasco, has taken a new and unusual turn. Fans of Al-Hilal from Saudi Arabia have started a campaign on social media. The movement urges the Arab club's management to sign the young cross-maltese promise, showing that the player's talent has already crossed European borders.
The mobilization of Saudi fans happened spontaneously. They launched a hashtag in Arabic that, in free translation, means “#RayanVictorIsADemandOfAlHilal”. The campaign quickly gained momentum, showing that the name of the 19-year-old is well known in the Middle East.
The popular movement, although not an official proposal, serves as a strong market indicator.
This is not the first interest coming from Saudi Arabia. Recently, Al-Ahli, another giant of the country, was also mentioned as one of the clubs monitoring the forward's situation. Therefore, the campaign by Al-Hilal fans reinforces that Rayan is a highly prestigious target in the league that currently invests the most in world football.

Despite the new wave of speculations, Vasco's position remains the same. The management managed to hold onto Rayan during this transfer window, which closed in Europe. The club is working behind the scenes to renew the player's contract. The aim is to further increase his release clause and protect itself for a future sale at values the club considers irresistible.
