Vasco green-light super agent, set fee for record Copa do Brasil sale | OneFootball

The future of striker Rayan at Vasco has reached a decisive chapter behind the scenes. The club has authorized renowned agent Pini Zahavi to seek offers for the 19-year-old starting in January. The information, released by journalist Bruno Andrade of ESPN, signals that the club is preparing for the biggest sale in its history, although it is still making a last-ditch effort to keep its young star.

Vasco authorizes one of the world’s top agents

The authorization for Pini Zahavi to negotiate on the club’s behalf shows the scale of the operation. The Israeli agent is one of the most influential figures in world football, known for brokering transfers involving astronomical sums, such as Neymar’s move from Barcelona to PSG.

Well aware of the treasure it has in its hands, Vasco will not make negotiations easy and has already set its price. The internal evaluation is that the striker is worth 30 million euros (R$ 189 million) or more, and the club will only open talks starting from this amount. The strategy is to hold on to the player until the European summer transfer window, in mid-2026, when offers tend to be higher.

While Zahavi works, Vasco is rushing to protect itself. The club is negotiating a new contract with Rayan to increase his salary and raise the release clause, currently at 40 million euros (about R$ 240 million). The player, in turn, has already ruled out alternative markets and is prioritizing the major European leagues.

On-field performance justifies the attention

The market movement is a direct reflection of Rayan’s spectacular season. With nine goals and one assist in the Brasileirão, the “product” of Base Forte has been Vasco’s main player.

Clubs like Tottenham, PSG, Barcelona and Chelsea continue to monitor the athlete, indicating that his farewell is just a matter of time and numbers.
