Liverpool are reportedly considering making a move for Bournemouth winger Rayan in a record transfer fee next summer.
According to Football Insider, the Reds have identified the 20-year-old as the ideal option for the right-wing position following Mohamed Salah's exit at the end of last season.
Rayan has a £130 million release clause in his contract at the Vitality Stadium that will become active in 2027.
The Brazilian winger moved to England from Brazilian club Vasco da Gama earlier this year and he has delivered a string of impressive performances for the Cherries.
WHAT LIVERPOOL'S INTEREST IN RAYAN MEANS
Liverpool coach Andoni Iraola is a big fan of Rayan, having played a key role in his switch from Brazil to Bournemouth in January.
The Spanish coach is reportedly set to play a huge role in luring the Brazilian star to Anfield for a reunion,
Meanwhile, the £130 million clause in Rayan's contract should not be a problem for Liverpool have gone all out to get their targets in the previous transfer windows.
Their most recent big signing was Bradley Barcola who cost the Reds up to £123 million to join from Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
A year ago, they broke the previous British-record transfer fee after agreeing a £130 million deal to complete the signing of Alexander Isak from Newcastle United.
WHAT WILL RAYAN BRING TO LIVERPOOL
After seeing late bids for Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr and Brighton's Yankuba Minteh rejected in the closing stages of this summer transfer window, Liverpool could turn to Rayan as a long-term right winger.
The 20-year-old is a classic Brazilian forward with flair for dribbling and pace whenever he charges forward on the right flank.
His eye for goal and powerful shooting could come in handy for Liverpool who have struggled to grab maximum points this season, with only a win in four Premier League matches so far.
HOW HAS RAYAN FARED IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE
Rayan played an important role in helping Bournemouth finish sixth in the Premier League last season which also secured their qualification for the UEFA Europa League.
Since his arrival at the Vitality Stadium, the 20-year-old has played in 19 Premier League matches, contributing five goals and two assists.
He was a member of the Brazil squad at the 2026 FIFA World Cup where he played four games with an assist to his name.
Rayan is in contention to make his Europa League debut on Thursday when the Cherries travel to Real Sociedad for their first competitive game on the continent.
