Rayan attracting Milan interest after Vasco da Gama exploits

Milan are still seeking new strikers and Sky Sport Italia report they could go for Vasco da Gama talent Rayan if Samuel Chukwueze leaves first.

The Rossoneri are transforming their attack this summer to suit the ideas of new coach Max Allegri, but the process is not over yet.

Even if Victor Boniface arrives from Bayer Leverkusen on loan with option to buy for €30-32m, as seems practically certain, then they are also looking at other candidates.

Rayan potential reinforcement for Milan

Sky Sport Italia transfer pundit Gianluca Di Marzio claims Milan are keeping a close eye on 19-year-old Vasco da Gama sensation Rayan.

The teenager can play on the right, left, or as a centre-forward in a trident attack.

A Brazil Under-20 talent with two goals in 10 caps, his contract with Vasco da Gama only runs to December 2026.

The report makes clear that there are no firm negotiations yet, but rather the Rossoneri are keeping an eye on him, ready to swoop in case Chukwueze leaves.

They already parted with Noah Okafor, who completes his €21m including add-ons move to Leeds United this week.
