Journalist David Ornstein of The Athletic and the newspaper AS have reported that Rayan is a future target for Liverpool. The club's interest is related to the search for a new right winger following the departure of Mohamed Salah. According to AS, Liverpool is looking for a player for the position because recent signings Víctor Muñoz and Bradley Barcola have performed better on the left side. Rayan is left-footed and preferably plays on the right wing, a role similar to that of Salah at Anfield. The player has previously worked with coach Andoni Iraola at Bournemouth. Iraola now manages Liverpool, and this connection has been cited as a factor that could facilitate a potential negotiation. AS reports that Liverpool could break its transfer record to sign the Bournemouth forward next summer. Rayan's 150 million euro release clause will become active in 2027, and Liverpool may choose to trigger it.
