The forward Rayan, the main revelation from Vasco in recent years, has reached a new level of recognition. The head coach of the main Brazilian National Team, Carlo Ancelotti, is closely monitoring the young player's development. The observation by the renowned Italian coach puts the “Colina's creation” on the radar for future call-ups.

Forward is seen as a name for the future

Ancelotti's interest in Rayan is focused on the athlete's potential. The Italian coach sees in the 19-year-old forward a player with the characteristics and talent to, in the future, be part of the Brazilian National Team cycle.

There is no talk of an immediate call-up yet. However, the mere fact of being observed by one of the greatest coaches in the world is already a significant validation.

Vasco already has another player on the pre-list

The monitoring of Rayan reinforces the good phase of Vasco players in the eyes of the National Team coaching staff. The club already has another athlete on Ancelotti's radar. Right-back Paulo Henrique has been included in the pre-list for the team's upcoming commitments.

For Vasco, the news is excellent from a strategic point of view. The monitoring by the main National Team exponentially increases Rayan's value in the international market. At a time when the club is the target of strong interest from European giants, having its main asset with Ancelotti's “seal of approval” further strengthens the club's position in future negotiations.
