Vasco contract talks: Pedrinho steps in, record clause for Rayan | OneFootball

Vasco is acting quickly to “shield” its main gem, forward Rayan. The club has advanced talks with the player’s staff for a contract extension until the end of 2028. The negotiation, which is being personally led by president Pedrinho, aims to increase the release clause to a record value. The information comes from the channel Atenção Vascaínos!.

Release clause could reach R$ 437 million

The current contract, which runs until 2026, has a release clause of 40 million euros. Vasco’s proposal is to raise this amount to somewhere between 60 and 70 million euros (approximately R$ 372 million to R$ 437 million).

The parties are “close to this agreement,” and a possible call-up to the Brazilian National Team on November 3 is seen as a “confirmation” of this desire for appreciation.

Vasco sets strategy for future offers

Vasco has also defined a firm stance for the market. Sources close to the player state that neither the club nor the player’s agents are willing to “sit down with anyone looking to haggle over the price.”

In addition to the negotiation strategy, there is an internal consensus that Rayan may need more time to mature in Brazil, playing important matches in 2026. The idea is to avoid an early move to Europe, which could result in a return due to lack of adaptation, as seen in recent cases with other Brazilian football prospects.
