What is Rayan’s new release clause at Vasco? | OneFootball

Vasco announced the contract renewal of forward Rayan until the end of 2028, right after the victory over Fluminense. Negotiations had been ongoing since July and resulted not only in the extension of the contract, which previously lasted until 2026, but also in a significant salary increase for the player.

With the new agreement, Rayan's release clause was set at 80 million euros, about R$ 500 million, reinforcing the club's strategy to protect one of its main talents.

The renewal announcement was made through a video released on Vasco's social media, featuring images of Barreira do Vasco and São Januário.– The story that began at Barreira do Vasco has just gained a new chapter — the club posted.

Son of Valkmar, a former Vasco player, Rayan joined the club at six years old and went through all the youth categories until being promoted to the professional team in 2023. He became the youngest player of the 21st century to play for Vasco.

At 19 years old, the forward has established himself as a key player for the team, especially after the arrival of coach Fernando Diniz. This season, Rayan has scored 20 goals, 17 of them under the coach's leadership.

Vasco had already renewed the player's contract in April, extending the deal until 2026. At that time, the management opted for a shorter renewal as a strategy to prevent the player's departure without financial compensation and to open up space for new negotiations at the end of the year. The good relationship between the club, the player, and his father was crucial for the new agreement.
