Al-Hilal pursues Brazilian striker Rayan from Bournemouth

Saudi Arabian club Al‑Hilal has identified 19‑year‑old Brazilian forward Rayan as a target for the upcoming transfer window. The club is prepared to make a substantial financial offer to secure the player, who impressed at the World Cup and has quickly adapted to the Premier League with Bournemouth.

Al‑Hilal aims to replace Malcom, who is not in coach Simone Inzaghi’s plans for the 2026/27 season. Bournemouth, which paid €35 million to sign Rayan from Vasco in early 2026, expects a high‑value proposal and has not indicated willingness to release the striker early. Negotiations are expected to intensify in the coming weeks.
