Rayan at Bayern or Borussia?
According to an investigation by “ESPN”, the clubs in Germany signaled interest and took the first steps to try to make a negotiation possible. Bayern has even been following the player’s development for a few months.
The Vasco board, however, does not intend to facilitate a possible exit. THE termination fine of the attacker is set at 80 million euros (around R$503 million)although the club considers acceptable to discuss values close to 50 million euros (approximately R$315 million).
The closest to an agreement was Zenit, from Russia, but talks cooled down. Rayan was not excited about the possibility of playing in Russian football and, if he leaves São Januário, his priority is a league with greater visibility.
