Premier league side, Bournemouth has verbally agreed a €35m deal for Brazilian winger Rayan from Vasco da Gama, Softfootball understands.
The Cherries sold Ghanaian winger Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City this January and the new number 42 has embraced life at the Etihad with a goal and an assist in his debut. He also started the Manchester derby which the Cityzens lost 2-0 to bitter rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.
According to transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle, Bournemouth were desperate for a new dynamic winger and feels the Brazilian is a perfect replacement for Semenyo. He revealed:
Rayan to Bournemouth, here we go! Deal verbally agreed in principle for Brazilian winger to join #AFCB from Vasco. €35m package verbally agreed with documents being checked and exchanged today. Bournemouth, scheduling Rayan’s medical later this week if all goes to plan.
Rayan will come into a Bournemouth side that drew 1-1 against Brighton in the premier league Match-Day 22 and try help them return to winning ways. The Cherries form has dropped drastically from how they began the season and would help all the help they can get from their new signing.
Rayan is likely to make his debut in Bournemouth’s next match against Liverpool on Saturday as they look to improve on their 15th spot on the table. They currently have just 27 points after 22 matches this season.
