Report: Milan have ‘upper hand’ over Roma in race to sign Brazilian sensation

AC Milan and Roma could be about to engage in a transfer battle to land Rayan from Vasco da Gama, a report claims.

Towards the end of the summer mercato, it was reported by Sky that Milan wanted to sign Rayan as a potential replacement for Samuel Chukwueze. He left for Fulham in the end and Noah Okafor was sold to Leeds, but there was no arrival after those sales.

According to RomaLive, it is likely that Rayan will move to Serie A when he does leave Brazil, and at the moment Milan have the ‘upper hand’ over Roma in the race to land him. Massimiliano Allegri and Igli Tare are both big admirers, but the problem is the price tag.

In the summer, both the Rossoneri and the Giallorossi tried to test the waters for a player that has received hype not seen the days of Vinicius and Rodrygo. The Brazilians have so far rejected a €10m offer from Porto, while Dynamo Moscow and Saudi Arabia made big offers too.

Milan remain ready to pounce and they do have a non-EU slot still available for January, while Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma will have to wait until June. Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelotti is thinking about a senior Brazil call-up for the 19-year-old, who has 15 goals in 83 appearances for Vasco da Gama.

  1. A sensation for 10 mil?

    Mastantuono, Endrick, Vini, Rodrygo all went for 45

    If there is a guy for 10 and no big clubs are interested he is not a sensation. And we already brought a sensation in form of Paqueta. He only needed to leave Milan to show his talent. So no, please no Brazilian sensations.

  2. Offer somewhere close to 20m I’m sure they will agree.
    I mean Nottingham didn’t pay a lot for Cunha and jesus and they were their stars btw

  3. Does he/can he play WB? Right now don’t play wingers in 3-5-2. If switch to 3-4-3 now there are 4 subs in MF. If 4-3-3 have to sign a better RB and what to do w Alexis S?
