Bournemouth are closing in on a move worth about £30.6m for Vasco da Gama striker Rayan. The 19‑year‑old Brazilian is keen to join the Premier League to further his development, while there has also been interest from other European sides. If the transfer is finalised, it would be Bournemouth's joint-second biggest transfer behind only the £32m move to sign fellow striker Evanilson from Porto in 2024. Bournemouth have been one of the busiest clubs during the winter transfer window, having signed Hungary midfielder Alex Toth for £10.4m from Ferencvaros on Tuesday. They are also in talks to sign Lazio goalkeeper Christos Mandas on an initial loan with an obligation to buy.
