Al-Rayyan triggered a clause that allowed the extension of the former Corinthians player’s contract, which was originally set to run until July 2026, with a salary increase. The club’s management presented a project for the Brazilian to stay beyond this period, which also includes the possibility of Guedes playing for the Qatar national team during the 2030 World Cup cycle.

The forward was approached by Grêmio in the middle of this year, but negotiations did not progress after Al-Rayyan refused to release the player.
