Rayan is making an impressive start on the pitch at Bournemouth, though his off-field routine is considerably more regimented, as told by Brazilian outlet RTI Esporte.
The forward has scored twice and provided an assist across his opening three appearances for the club, reflecting his smooth transition to Premier League intensity since arriving from Vasco da Gama.
According to the report, Rayan required little time to adjust to English football’s demanding tempo. Beyond his goalscoring contributions, he has been involved across attacking sequences and earned squad space swiftly.
The early performance has bolstered expectations among supporters, management and the board alike, who see both sporting and financial potential in the young attacker.
They also claim that before landing at the south coast, he attracted interest from Zenit and Shakhtar Donetsk, though the English club won the race for his signature.
Controlled routine off the pitch
If his early performances encourage optimism, his life outside the stadium operates under considerably stricter parameters. Bournemouth maintains a detailed protocol designed to extract maximum performance from its players. Rayan must adhere to all of it.
RTI Esporte reports several requirements. The Brazilian cannot eat outside the club without nutritionist approval. He must learn English within six months – a requirement tied to his long-term visa status.
During training and gym sessions, GPS tracking is mandatory. The club monitors distance covered, speed and heart rate data. An internal app tracks his sleep as well.
Should Rayan sleep fewer than eight hours, coaching staff may call him in to speak. Inappropriate social media posts trigger warnings. Public complaints carry a £50,000 fine. Disciplinary breaches risk bench time, and persistent rule-breaking could threaten his place at the club.
Despite the rigour, Rayan has earned praise from directors, coaching staff and fellow players for his conduct both on and off the pitch. Early signs suggest he is adapting to Bournemouth’s exacting standards without resistance – and with goals.
