Rumours about Rayan: Are Dortmund chasing Brazilian striking talent? | OneFootball

Actually, Borussia Dortmund has two high-caliber center forwards, Serhou Guirassy and Fabio Silva, for usually just one position. However, the plan with this duo hasn't fully worked out in recent months. Instead, there are constant transfer rumors surrounding both Guirassy and Silva. At the same time, BVB is now also being linked with another striker.

According to information from ESPN, in addition to FC Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund is also interested in Rayan from Vasco da Gama, who is currently one of the most promising talents in Brazilian football. The 19-year-old, who Bayern has reportedly had their eye on for months, was arguably the biggest discovery after the 2025 season and is said to be on the radar of several other top European clubs.

Release Clause at 80 Million Euros

According to ESPN, both FC Bayern and BVB have not only shown interest but have also made initial contacts to convince Rayan to move to the Bundesliga.

However, it might not be easy for BVB to secure Rayan's signing. On one hand, due to the competition, which reportedly includes FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Tottenham Hotspur. On the other hand, because Rayan still has a contract until the end of 2028, which includes a release clause, albeit at a hefty 80 million euros. Vasco da Gama is said to be willing to compromise and might accept 50 million euros, but even at this level, Borussia cannot currently invest in the summer.
