Vasco da Gama are raising the stakes over the future of Tottenham target Rayan, with Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola revealing the Rio de Janeiro club have set a minimum asking price of €30m (£25.7m) for their young forward.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, Nicola explained that Rayan’s recent form has given Vasco confidence to push his valuation upwards.
Among players under 19 worldwide in 2025, only Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal has scored more goals. The Spaniard has 14 this season, while Rayan follows with 12.
The teenager recently scored against Flamengo in a draw and opened the scoring against Cruzeiro in a victory, confirming his rise as a decisive player.
According to Nicola, Porto and Zenit Saint Petersburg had already tested Vasco with bids worth €17m (£14.6m), both of which were rejected. Barcelona continue to monitor him closely, as do Tottenham, while Zenit remain among the suitors.
The Brazilian press had also mentioned Chelsea and Brighton as being in the race, as we previously covered, further increasing the level of Premier League competition for his signing.
Vasco, however, intend to hold on to the player at least until the middle of next year as they fight to climb away from the bottom end of the league table.
The teenager’s growing influence on the pitch, combined with his statistical impact alongside Europe’s brightest youngsters, only strengthens Vasco’s stance.
Now any interested club will need to weigh that rising price tag against the clear signs of a player quickly becoming one of the most exciting prospects in South American football.
