Brazilian Jewel Ends Ties with Barcelona's Trusted Ally

Transfer Update

Ryan targets convincing Ancelotti before World Cup

The young star Ryan, nicknamed the Jewel of Vasco da Gama, cut his contractual ties with famed agent Benny Zahavi, known for Barcelona connections.

According to Spain's Sport newspaper, this sudden shift comes at a sensitive moment as Deco, Barcelona's sporting director, monitors the player's development closely today.

It noted that after striker, who can play left wing, signed a deal with Zahavi to represent him abroad, the player and his representatives chose not to renew intermediary contract when it expired, despite Barcelona officials present.

Following this decision, Ryan's career management returned to being exclusively in the hands of his local representatives, who likewise enjoy professional synergy and maintain a line with Barcelona's leadership.

The paper noted that Zahavi's absence from the scene, whether temporary or permanent, does not imply changes in Barcelona's interest in adding the Brazilian talent.

With the new year dawn in South America, Ryan aimed to persuade Ancelotti to include him in Brazil's World Cup squad, despite fierce attacking competition, then plot a move to Europe in the summer transfer window as the market heats.

This transfer saga has more twists than a pretzel—stick around for the encore. If the deal falls through, at least the summer window will serve popcorn.
