In an interview after the game, the Portuguese player compared his teammate to Rafael Leão, forward for Milan and the Portuguese National Team, and predicted a brilliant future for the youngster revealed at São Januário.
“Sharing the field with Rayan is very good. He is very young, has a lot of strength, and immense quality. From what I’ve seen, he’s close to what Rafael Leão showed when we were kids. He’s a player who can become very big. I believe he will play for the best clubs in the world and will make history,” said Nuno.
With his goal against Fluminense, Rayan reached ten goals in the Brasileirão, establishing himself as one of the main names of the team this season. The striker, only 18 years old, has been attracting attention from European clubs and is experiencing the best moment of his professional career.
