Vasco eyeing big-name striker after selling Rayan | OneFootball

Vasco is already moving in the market in search of reinforcements for the attack. As soon as the sale of Rayan is finalized, the club's management intends to move forward with the signing of a new striker for the remainder of the season.

This information was reported by journalist Lucas Pedrosa. Internally, the club believes that the departure of the young striker will open up both financial and sporting space for the arrival of a more experienced player, capable of making an immediate impact.

Rayan is in advanced negotiations with Bournemouth, from England, and is also attracting interest from other European clubs. Vasco is monitoring the progress of the talks and is awaiting the official outcome to determine its next steps in the market.

The management's idea is to act quickly after the sale is completed, avoiding gaps in the squad. The understanding is that the attacking sector needs a direct replacement, especially given the packed schedule that includes the Brazilian Championship, Copa do Brasil, and continental competitions.

Despite the planning, there are still no defined names or formalized negotiations. The club is working cautiously and keeping possible targets under wraps, prioritizing players who fit Fernando Diniz's playing style and the budget available after Rayan's transfer.
