Despite the offer sent to Vasco da Gama for Rayan Vitor, Olympique Lyonnais should not succeed in completing his transfer. According to the Catalan press, the young Brazilian winger refused offers from the Rhone club and Liverpool in order to favor FC Barcelona.
While its accounts are announced in the red, Olympique Lyonnais is not ruling out a new investment in the transfer market. In view of the next winter transfer window, the club led by John Textor has sent a proposal estimated at 14 million euros for Rayan Vitor. The Rhone owner has not confirmed the existence of this offer. But his interest in Vasco da Gama's winger is no longer a secret.
« No, I didn't talk to himreplied the boss of Botafogo after the victory against Vasco da Gama (3-0) on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday. I greeted several Vasco players as they left the field. He's a young talent. He's a Vasco player until he's not. Everyone loves Rayan. » Indeed, John Textor is far from being the only admirer of the Brazilian. We learned in the Catalan press that Liverpool also tried their luck, too late. The media E-Noticies reveals that Rayan Vitor refused offers from the Reds and Olympique Lyonnais. The young 18-year-old talent favors the approach of FC Barcelona.
Liverpool also failed
The winger compared to Merengue Vinicius Junior would have become Barça's new priority after the failure on the Nico Williams file. This summer, the Catalan club tried everything to obtain the signature of the Spanish international, very prominent at Euro 2024 won with La Roja. But the Athletic Bilbao winger refused the invitation and upset Barça who will not return to the charge despite his announced regrets. Note that the current leader of Liga would be well on his way to offering Rayan Vitor for 18 million euros, while his contract expires in December 2025.
