Bayern eyeing Brazilian duo Rayan Vitor and Souza

Bayern Munich are eyeing a move for Vasco da Gama winger Rayan Vitor, according to Bild.

The Brazilian starlet emerged as one of the finest talents in South America last term, bagging 17 goals and one assist in 50 appearances.

Rayan would be an excellent understudy to Michael Olise, who has been sensational for Bayern.

Olise has avoided the spate of injuries that bogged him down at Crystal Palace, but Bayern need a ready deputy in place.

Rayan fits the bill. The 19-year-old can take his time to adapt to German football, sitting behind Olise in the pecking order.

He is also equally dangerous when switched to the left, providing extra attacking cover.

With Serge Gnabry potentially leaving this summer, Rayan would be a talented replacement to have on the ground.

However, Bayern need to move quickly, with several European clubs monitoring his development.

Bayern are keeping tabs on Santos left-back Souza, who has been turning heads with his play despite his team’s relegation battle.

The 19-year-old would be a long-term replacement for Raphael Guerreiro, whose contract with the German giants expires this summer.

Alphonso Davies’ long-term setback forced Bayern to turn to the injury-prone Guerreiro, and they need to sign a quality replacement.

Bayern are not known to dip into the Brazilian market for young starlets, but their ageing squad is crying out for some fresh legs across the park.
