The stellar performance of Rayan in the classic match against Fluminense had special spectators at Maracanã. Scouts from Arsenal, England, were present to observe the Vasco forward and, according to reports, left "enchanted" with what they saw. The performance of the 19-year-old may have been the definitive step towards a million-dollar offer in the next transfer window.

Star performance impressed the English

According to the profile NT Vascaínos, the representatives of the English club were categorical in describing their impression of the player, using the word "enchanted." The performance, which included the first goal and participation in the second, was so impactful that the scouts reportedly called an Arsenal director in England in the middle of the night to relay the positive feedback.

Vasco is aware of the interest and is already taking action. The club is working behind the scenes to renew Rayan's contract until 2028, aiming to increase the release clause, which is currently 40 million euros. However, the management has already set a minimum price to start negotiations: 30 million euros (R$ 187 million).

Call-up to the National Team seen as key

Another important point for the negotiation is the expectation of a call-up to the main Brazilian National Team. The Vasco management knows that the call-up, besides further increasing the player's value, would facilitate obtaining a work visa for the Premier League, making the deal with English clubs simpler.
