Will Rayan play in the Premier League?
According to “ESPN”, Crystal Palace has already made a first contact to reinforce the squad with Rayan and is considering a purchase of the striker in the middle of 2026. Israeli agent Pini Zahivi, who has a lot of influence behind the scenes in the Premier League, is the player’s agent.
So far, the values of a possible proposal have not been revealed. The value of Rayan’s termination fine is 80 million euros (R$517 millionat the current price).
Vasco has already received inquiries from several teams abroad, including Fiorentina (ITA) and Aston Villa (ING), but does not intend to release the striker easily. Before renewing the contract, the club had set minimum value of 30 million euros (around R$190 million) to open negotiations. It would be the biggest sale in the history of Cruz-Maltino, surpassing the departure of striker Paulinho for 18.5 million euros to Bayer Leverkusen, from Germany, in 2018.
The player refused millionaire offers from clubs in the Middle East, such as Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, both from Saudi Arabia, making it clear that his desire is to make history at Vasco and then play in European football.
