Young Brazilian striker Rayan (19 years old), playing for Vasco da Gama, is now linked to Paris Saint-Germain, according to various local media outlets specializing in the Rio club. According to information relayed by AVascainos via CulturePSG, the capital club is showing real interest in this versatile attacking talent, while the AS Monaco track has been denied by the player’s clan.
Brazilian forward Rayan, currently at Vasco da Gama, is reportedly on Paris Saint-Germain’s radar, according to local media covering the club. His entourage has denied L’Équipe’s report of AS Monaco’s interest, stating that the French club in question is indeed PSG. The 19-year-old left-footed attacker, capable of playing both on the right wing and as a central striker, has a release clause set at €15 million.
PSG’s interest in Rayan — a natural left-footer who can operate either on the right flank or up front — reflects the Parisian club’s ongoing strategy of betting on youth and versatility. His €15m release clause represents an opportunity to act before European competition intensifies, especially as his profile as a modern forward — comfortable with both feet, explosive, and technically gifted — aligns with PSG’s identified needs.
This close monitoring could also be driven by PSG’s intent to plan for the future, either by anticipating possible departures or strengthening squad depth, all while maintaining financial flexibility.
The firm denial regarding AS Monaco clarifies the situation: as of now, PSG appears to be in the strongest position to land Rayan (19), a rising star in Brazilian football whose development is being closely tracked by the Parisian decision-makers. That said, with the transfer window in full swing and many names linked to PSG, a degree of caution remains necessary..
