Liverpool is working on signing Rayan from Bournemouth during the winter transfer market, with the intention of incorporating the attacker as the new request by Andoni Iraola for offensive rotation, chosen to substitute Salah.

According to Football Insider, Andoni Iraola's presence on the Anfield bench is a key factor in advancing the operation. However, the Merseyside club refuses to pay the £130 million (€150 million) set in his release clause.

Andoni Iraola's Role in Filling the Void in Liverpool's Attack

Liverpool's sports management did not close the direct replacement for Mohamed Salah before the summer market closure in 2026, when the 34-year-old Egyptian forward secured a move to Trabzonspor. Despite investing €270 million in signings like Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, and Bradley Barcola, coach Andoni Iraola requested the arrival of the 20-year-old player to take the right-wing position.

The Brazilian player is under contract with Cherries until June 2031. The prior connection between the player and the Basque coach during their time at the Vitality Stadium places the Reds in an advantageous position over other European suitors, even though the board demands negotiations for a price below the stipulated release amount.

Rayan's Release Clause and Finances at Bournemouth

The Brazilian's contractual conditions state that his £130 million clause will become active in the summer of 2027. Journalist Pete O'Rourke detailed that this amount is excessive for Liverpool's immediate budget, leading to direct talks with Bournemouth's management to arrange a reasonable transfer amount in the January window.

The club in the south of England is not under financial pressure to sell their forward in the 2026-2027 season. However, the player's desire to reunite with Andoni Iraola at Anfield could prompt a renegotiation of economic demands between the clubs in the Premier League.

Liverpool's executives will initiate informal discussions with Rayan's representatives in November 2026. The technical secretariat's aim is to present a formal offer to Bournemouth in December, seeking to complete the transfer before the market opens on January 1, 2027.
