FC Porto move for Rayan, Vasco da Gama’s right winger | OneFootball

FC Porto is accelerating negotiations to secure the signing of Rayan Rocha and finalize their options for the wings before the transfer window closes, according to the newspaper Record. The 19-year-old right winger has long been a target for André Villas-Boas, who last season attempted to bring him back from Vasco da Gama on a loan deal.

The young Brazilian international has had a standout season with Vasco's first team, scoring 10 goals and providing one assist in 36 matches under the guidance of Fernando Diniz. Considering that Francesco Farioli's model favors pure wingers, FC Porto aims to fill the gap left by Gonçalo Borges' departure to Feyenoord with the arrival of Rayan, who would join Borja Sainz, William Gomes, and Pepê on the offensive flanks.

According to Record, the €17M offer presented by FC Porto for Rayan has initiated a negotiation process with Vasco da Gama that is increasingly close to reaching an agreement.

With the sale of Rodrigo Mora on the horizon ensuring a substantial financial gain, the Dragons are strengthening their competitive capacity for the remainder of the 2025/26 season with Kiwior for defense and Rayan in attack, while also keeping the option open to pursue Kenneth Taylor, the most sought-after reinforcement by Farioli for the midfield.
