Barcelona in pole position to sign Rayan Vitor Simplicio

La Liga heavyweights Barcelona are reportedly the front-runners to sign 18-year-old Brazilian wonderkid Rayan Vitor Simplicio Rocha, a target for Liverpool.

According to a report by Catalan outfit E Noticias, Rayan Vitor Simplicio Rocha is the subject of interest from Barcelona. The Vasco da Gama attacking sensation is also a target for Liverpool. However, the Catalan giants are the front-runners ahead of the Reds to land the 18-year-old wonderkid.

The rise of Rayan Vitor Simplicio Rocha

Rayan Vitor Simplicio Rocha, better known by his first name, is one of several highly-rated prodigies making their mark and rising in prominence in their homeland. A native of Rio de Janeiro, the teenage sensation has spent his formative years with Vasco da Gama, joining the club as a six-year-old in 2012.

Since then, the 18-year-old has come leaps and bounds while breaking into the first-team squad. The youngster made his first-team bow for Vasco da Gama last year and has risen in stature in the last 18 months, turning out 38 times thus far while chipping in with three goals and one assist.

Meanwhile, Rayan’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Many well-known Premier League clubs have also shown interest in the Brazilian wonderkid. However, Barcelona and Liverpool might be the most eligible prospective suitors for the young attacker’s signature next year.

Where next?

Rayan Vitor Simplicio Rocha has been on Barcelona’s radar for a long time. The continued interest in the South American attacking sensation is understandable, considering the Blaugrana failed to sign Nico William in the summer transfer window. So, the Vasco da Gama whizkid has emerged as a viable alternative to the Spanish international for Barcelona.

As for Liverpool, the Reds are in a spot of bother over the long-term future of Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian international has entered the final nine months of his contract, with the Merseyside club scrambling to retain his services. So, the Brazilian wonderkid has emerged as a viable target for Liverpool.

However, the Reds are behind Barcelona in the race to secure Rayan’s services. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see if Liverpool can usurp the Blaugrana in the race to secure the 18-year-old attacker’s signature.
