Sky: Milan identify Vasco da Gama star as potential late replacement for Chukwueze

AC Milan could yet end up signing a winger before the end of the summer transfer window, and they have a target in mind.

With Noah Okafor’s move to Leeds United expected to become official today, there has been widespread agreement among sources that Milan will not go back into the market for a replacement for the Swiss.

However, there still remain doubts about the future of Samuel Chukwueze in the final days of the window. If he were to leave, then it is expected that the Rossoneri management would have to act.

A target for the wing

According to the latest from Sky, Milan are eyeing Vasco da Gama’s Rayan, who has identified as an interesting name for the future. There are no negotiations underway at the moment, but the 19-year-old could become a targeted investment if Chukwueze were to be sold.

Rayan plays predominantly on the right side of the attack, and after coming through the youth ranks at Vasco da Game, he already has 76 appearances to his name with the first team. Considering his age, the numbers are impressive: 12 goals and two assists.

Transfermarkt have his valuation as €14m, but state that he has a contract which runs out next year, so the margins could be there to tempt the teenage talent.
