In October, Football Insider reported that Liverpool had entered the race to sign Palmeiras’ promising talent, Vitor Reis, though their primary focus remains to strengthen their central defense.
The report also mentioned that Reis is eager to move to Europe, with ambitions of playing in the Champions League. However, Palmeiras appears determined to hold onto him for the time being.
ESPN Brazil highlighted additional interest from Manchester United, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain. With Reis under contract until December 2028 and a hefty €100 million release clause, a swift transfer seems unlikely.
For now, top clubs are expected to monitor the Brazilian defender’s development throughout the season.
What’s the latest on Vitor Reis?
Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported on Sunday that Reis has emerged as a potential transfer target for both Arsenal and Chelsea ahead of next summer. The 18-year-old Palmeiras central defender, regarded as a top talent, is under contract until 2028, but that hasn’t stopped the two Premier League clubs from keeping a close eye on him.
