Vasco close to agreeing new deal with young talent | OneFootball

The saga has reached its decisive chapter. According to exclusive information from the Atenção, Vascaínos profile, Vasco is expected to officially announce as early as next week the contract renewal of Rayan, extending the deal until 2028 and raising the release clause to 60 million euros.

The confirmation of the final details comes after football director Admar Lopes revealed, during the draw for the Copa do Brasil semifinals, that the agreement had been progressing for weeks.

– Regarding Rayan, we control what we can do. We are making every effort to renew. The talks are advanced. We are confident that, in the coming weeks or by the end of the year, we will secure this renewal because it is also the player’s wish — said Admar at the CBF event.

Rayan’s current contract, renewed at the start of 2025, runs until December 2026. With the new negotiation, his salary will be adjusted and all the financial terms of the agreement will be expanded.

– A renewal for a player with this impact means increasing everything: values, duration, and the release clause. It’s to protect Vasco da Gama — the director added.

Rayan is living a decisive moment

At 19 years old, the forward has become a key player for Vasco under Fernando Diniz’s command. With 19 goals this season, including 14 in the Brasileirão, he is one of the main names in the team fighting for a spot in international competitions and dreaming of the Copa do Brasil title.

The expectation is that the new contract will be officially announced by the club in the coming days, consolidating the squad’s most valuable asset and shielding the player from European interest.
