Globo.com reported that Rayan was Al Hilal's first choice to replace Malcom, and that after establishing contact to open negotiations, Al Hilal was immediately told that Rayan will not leave Bournemouth and has no plans to move to the Middle East at his young age.

According to the Brazilian press, Al-Hilal is targeting Rayan, the 19-year-old player from Bournemouth. Al-Hilal is particularly interested in Rayan and is considering making Malcolm available for transfer. Discussions are expected to intensify in the coming hours.

Al Hilal plans to make an offer to AFC Bournemouth for 19-year-old Brazilian winger Rayan. The Saudi club's interest is due to his impact in the Premier League and performances for Brazil, with the plan being to invest in him as a replacement for Malcolm. The attacker is under contract until 2031, and Al Hilal is aware a high investment will be needed, with several other top European clubs also linked with him.
