Overview
- Reports from Bild’s Bayern-Insider, relayed by German outlets, say Bayern has placed 19-year-old Rayan (Vasco da Gama) and left-back Souza (Santos) on its watch list.
- Chief scout Nils Schmadtke is reported to have observed the targets in South America as part of an evaluation phase.
- Rayan is characterized as a fast, dribble-strong attacker who can play wide or centrally, aligning with Vincent Kompany’s preference for one‑on‑one wide threats.
- Rayan’s estimated value stands near €18 million with a contract to the end of 2026, and RB Leipzig is named among European clubs showing interest.
- Souza, valued around €3 million with a deal through 2028, is viewed as a potential future option for Bayern’s thin left-back depth.
