According to people heard by ESPN, Real Betis was the first European club to make a more concrete approach for Vasco's 19-year-old Brazilian winger Rayan, at a time when there was uncertainty about Antony's future. Since then, other clubs have entered the race, including Porto, who had an official offer rejected because the terms did not satisfy Vasco. Fiorentina and Aston Villa are also now in contention. The Italian club had previously made an unsuccessful €8 million offer in December 2024. Vasco has indicated to interested parties a willingness to open conversations for offers starting at €30 million, but sources suggest a deal could be finalized for around €20 million in fixed fees plus €5 million in add-ons, while the player's release clause is €40 million. The player's contract with Vasco runs until the end of 2026 and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €18 million.
