New European suitor: Vasco rush to tie down their gem before it’s too late | OneFootball

Vasco knows it has gold in its hands and is racing against time. The club held another round of talks with the staff of striker Rayan to extend his contract. The current deal runs until the end of 2026, but the intense interest from European football is worrying the board.

The “time bomb” of the contract

Rayan’s release clause exceeds R$ 400 million. The problem isn’t the amount, but the time. As the contract nears its end, Vasco’s bargaining power decreases. Starting in July 2026, the striker can sign a pre-contract with any club.

To avoid this scenario, Vasco wants to hold onto the player at least until the middle of next year, ensuring a profitable sale. The board has put a new deal on the table, extending until the end of 2028. The proposal includes a substantial salary increase for the number 77.

New suitors for Vasco’s jewel

While negotiating, Vasco sees the list of interested parties growing. According to journalist Arda Özkurt, via Aslan Portal, Galatasaray of Turkey is closely monitoring the Brazilian player, regardless of other negotiations by the Turkish club.

The good news for the Gigante da Colina is the player’s willingness. Rayan has already signaled positively towards renewing. The club hopes to seal the deal to increase its bargaining power and secure the biggest sale possible.
