Al Hilal plans to make an offer to Bournemouth for 19-year-old Brazilian winger Rayan, whose immediate impact in the Premier League and performances as a starter for Brazil in the World Cup have led to the Saudi club's interest. The plan is to invest in Rayan as a replacement for fellow Brazilian Malcolm, who is not in manager Simone Inzaghi's plans for the 2026/27 season. Al Hilal is currently evaluating the conditions to convince both Bournemouth and the player, with more direct contacts planned for the coming weeks.
The club is aware that a high investment will be needed, given Bournemouth paid €35 million to sign him from Vasco in early 2026, but is willing to make significant efforts for the player, who is also said to be admired by Carlo Ancelotti. The attacker, who has 6 caps and 1 goal for Brazil, is under contract until 2031 and has a current Transfermarkt market value of €60.00m. Several other top European clubs, including Liverpool, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain, have also been linked with him. Recent reports from July 2026 suggest a potential asking price as high as £130m (€153m).
