Rayan, a Brazilian striker, is a confirmed reinforcement for Bournemouth, coming from Vasco, in Brazil. The 19-year-old player cost the English club's coffers 35 million euros. The product of the Rio club's formation signs a contract valid for five and a half seasons. This is the second largest purchase of «cherries». The biggest one still belongs to Evanilson, formerly of FC Porto, who went to England in exchange for 37 million. After a career spent with Vasco, Rayan is now embarking on his first experience abroad, reinforcing the 13th-placed team in the Premier League. The young striker has a release clause of 100 million euros. «Rayan is a player we follow closely and who has already demonstrated impressive consistency and maturity for his age. We believe he has enormous potential, and Bournemouth is the right environment for him to continue his development and make an impact,” said Tiago Pinto, the English sporting director, who has also worked for Benfica and Roma.
