Vasco legend warns against rushing Rayan's move: "Leaving a Giant" | OneFootball

The negotiation involving Rayan's move to English football has gained a commentator of weight and undeniable authority. Vasco da Gama is living decisive days regarding the sale of its greatest promise to Bournemouth, a mid-sized club in the Premier League, but Romário, an eternal idol of the Colina and world football, made a point of issuing a strong warning about the dangers of this transfer.

The message from the "Baixinho"

Without mincing words, the world champion recognized the boy's talent but severely questioned the career strategy of trading the prominence in a Brazilian giant for a supporting role in a smaller team on the Old Continent.

The “Baixinho's” statement echoes a common concern among fans and analysts: the risk of a jewel “hiding” in teams that fight in the middle of the table or against relegation in Europe, losing the visibility and development he would have playing at a high level in Brazil or in a European powerhouse.

Harmony with Diniz

Interestingly, Romário's opinion aligns with what coach Fernando Diniz thinks. In the last press conference, the coach also opposed the immediate departure, stating that Rayan has the potential to be “one of the best in the world” and should only leave for an already consolidated elite project.

Romário, who paved a successful path leaving Vasco for PSV (a giant in Holland and then the current Champions League champion) and later for Barcelona, knows the roadmap to success.

His warning serves as a final reflection for the athlete's staff and the management: Bournemouth's money is good, but the sporting cost of trading a giant for a medium club can be irreversible for the young striker's career.
