Vasco turn down a fortune, betting on an even bigger sale in future | OneFootball

The management of Vasco da Gama showed strength in the market by rejecting a 25 million euro offer (approximately R$ 150 million) from FC Porto, Portugal, for the forward Rayan. The information, released by the Turkish journalist specialized in transfers, Ekrem Konur, reveals the high asking price of the club to negotiate its biggest promise.

Vasco rejects million-dollar bid

The proposal from Porto was the highest to reach Vasco's table in this transfer window. The amount of 25 million euros was seen as the sum that could convince the management to let go of the 19-year-old player. However, the offer was promptly declined by the Cruz-Maltino.

Share of rights and the bet on the future

The negotiation is complex, as Vasco holds 70% of the athlete's economic rights, while the other 30% belong to the player himself. However, Vasco's management is betting on an even greater appreciation.

According to Konur, the Gigante da Colina is waiting for a “bigger offer in 2026.” Rayan's stay, his starting position in the Rio de Janeiro club, and the sequence of decisive matches in the team are seen as factors that can further increase his market value, justifying the rejection of the current offer.
