Bournemouth are not rushing into talks over Ryan, with the Brazilian striker attracting interest from several of Europe’s biggest clubs.
Interest builds around the 19-year-old
The Sun reports that Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Liverpool are all watching Ryan after his performances for Brazil at the World Cup, where he stepped in for the injured Raphinha and impressed.
Ryan’s priority is said to be a move to a club where he can expect regular football. Bournemouth, meanwhile, have little incentive to sell quickly, particularly after Junior Kroupi’s injury, which could keep him out for up to four months.
Bournemouth hold a strong hand
The Premier League club have added protection in the form of a release clause that cannot be activated until 2027, giving them greater control over any sale. According to the report, bids above £85m would be considered exceptional.
PSG would have the financial muscle to match Bournemouth’s asking price if they decide to press ahead. Bayern are also understood to be interested, though the German club view the current valuation as high and would need more favourable negotiations before joining the race.
