Rayan to Bournemouth: Here We Go!
AFC Bournemouth are on the verge of completing a major statement signing after reaching a verbal agreement in principle to sign Brazilian winger Rayan from Vasco da Gama.
The Cherries have agreed a €35 million package with the Brazilian club, with sources confirming that all key terms are now in place. The deal has progressed to the documentation stage, with contracts currently being checked and exchanged as Bournemouth move to finalise the transfer.

Rayan, widely regarded as one of Brazil’s most exciting young attacking talents, is expected to add pace, flair, and creativity to Andoni Iraola’s squad as the club continues to build ambitiously in the Premier League.
If there are no late complications, Bournemouth are already scheduling the player’s medical for later this week, signalling strong confidence that the transfer will be completed smoothly.

The move represents a significant investment by AFC Bournemouth and underlines their intent to compete at a higher level, with Rayan seen as a long-term project capable of making an immediate impact.
All eyes are now on the final paperwork — but as it stands, Rayan to Bournemouth is done and dusted. ⚽
