Bournemouth have no intention of selling Rayan this summer, with the Brazilian teenager now regarded as one of the club's untouchable players following his outstanding start to life in England and impressive performances at the World Cup.
The 19-year-old has continued his rapid rise since helping Bournemouth secure a sixth-place Premier League finish and qualification for the Europa League. His displays for Brazil, particularly during the 3-0 victory over Scotland, have attracted growing attention across Europe.
However, according to ESPN Brazil journalist Bruno Andrade, Bournemouth's message could not be clearer: Rayan is not for sale.
Marco Rose’s staff already convinced by Rayan
Rayan’s position at the Vitality Stadium has only strengthened following the managerial change from Andoni Iraola to Marco Rose.
Speaking to ESPN Brazil, Andrade revealed the new coaching staff have been closely following every one of the youngster’s performances at the World Cup.
“The new Bournemouth coaching staff are following the World Cup very closely and, naturally, Rayan’s performances. They are in love with Rayan.” — Bruno Andrade, ESPN Brazil
According to the journalist, Rayan has become one of the main talking points throughout the club while representing Brazil.
“They exchange messages. Bournemouth don’t forget about Rayan even during the World Cup.”
The continued communication underlines just how highly the Brazilian is valued as preparations continue for the 2026/27 campaign.
Bournemouth refuse to discuss a transfer
Interest in Rayan has increased significantly after his breakthrough season, with Liverpool among the clubs previously linked with monitoring the winger’s progress.
Despite the growing attention, Bournemouth are refusing to entertain any transfer discussions.
“When I asked about his future, the answer I received was simple: untouchable. They are not even putting a price on Rayan after the World Cup.” — Bruno Andrade, ESPN Brazil
According to Andrade, Bournemouth’s position will remain unchanged regardless of how Brazil perform during the remainder of the tournament.
The expectation inside the club is that Rayan will return to the south coast after the World Cup and continue his development for at least another season before any future transfer is considered.
