In a recent report, Mundo Deportivo mentioned that Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Palmeiras defender Vitor Reis ahead of a potential move for him this summer. It has been revealed that Los Blancos have made contact to sign the Brazilian youngster in this transfer window.
Reis’ Rapid Rise In Brazilian Football
Reis has come through the youth ranks of Palmeiras and has done well to prove his worth as a member of their senior team. The Brazilian centre-back has already made ten appearances for the Brazilian club thus far, scoring a couple of goals in multiple competitions.
The 18-year-old has caught the eye at times with his performances for Palmeiras this season. At the moment, he is one of the most promising young defenders in Brazilian football, so Real Madrid would do well to bring him on board this summer.
His current contract at the Brazilian club will run out at the end of 2028. Hence, Los Blancos would have to make a convincing offer if they are serious about recruiting Reis in this transfer period.
Real Madrid Are Keeping Tabs On Reis: Is He A Prospect For The Future?
Reis is a solid tackler of the ball and can time his challenges well to secure the ball back for his team inside his half. He doesn’t mind putting his foot through the ball when required and can use his strong 1.86m frame to dominate the opposition attackers in the air.
However, the Brazilian starlet is still quite raw and would need time to settle into life in La Liga if Real Madrid manage to lure him to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this month.
At 18, Reis is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the future. Therefore, Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti would be wise to go all out to bring him on board before the end of this summer transfer window.
Reis has the ceiling to be a success story at the Madrid club in the long run as long as he continues to develop with each season. However, Ancelotti has to be patient with his progress before he can get the best out of the Brazilian whizkid at Real Madrid.
