Liverpool are among five clubs showing keen interest in Bournemouth star Rayan, The Sun reports.
The Reds are still on the market looking for a long-term replacement for club legend Mohamed Salah.
Liverpool have been linked with several interesting talents across Europe but have yet to land a suitable successor for the Egyptian icon.
The Reds were initially interested in RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande, but the Ivory Coast international is expected to join La Liga giants Real Madrid.
That disappointment sent Liverpool back to the drawing board, forcing them to evaluate other targets.
The Reds were also linked with a move for West Ham United’s Jarrod Bowen, but he decided to pledge his allegiance to the Hammers.
With the club running out of options, Liverpool are now eyeing a sensational move for Rayan.
The Bournemouth teenager has become one of the most sought-after young players in European football after his impressive start to life in the Premier League.
The 19-year-old Brazilian only joined the Cherries from Vasco da Gama in January, but he has already shown why he is regarded as one of the game’s brightest prospects.
He made an immediate impact by providing an assist on his debut before scoring in his first Premier League start, and those performances have attracted the attention of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Real Madrid, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain, and Bayern Munich are also interested in Rayan and are closely monitoring his progress ahead of a possible move.
Interestingly, Manchester United and Newcastle United were interested in Rayan before he joined Bournemouth.
Rayan has only made 15 appearances for Bournemouth, scoring five goals and weighing in with two assists. But his nimble footwork and ability to skip past defenders have made him easy on the eye.
The teenager’s impact at Bournemouth has already earned him international recognition.
He played a crucial role in Brazil’s World Cup campaign, helping the Selecao to reach the last 16 with an assist and three big chances created.
