Corinthians not alone in chase for Matheus Reis, Sporting stand firm | OneFootball

Besides Corinthians, Matheus Reis has also reportedly received inquiries from some Russian clubs. However, even as interested parties begin to make moves, Sporting is not willing to let go of the Brazilian player in this transfer window.

The information is being reported by the Brazilian press, but not only them. Bruno Andrade has also confirmed that the interest from the São Paulo club is real. In addition, Santos is also said to have sought information about Rui Borges’ ‘number 2’, but ended up being warned about the ongoing approach from Corinthians.

There is still much to consider. Apparently, Corinthians will only move forward with a potential deal if the operation can be completed without transfer fees. For that to happen, the player would need to anticipate his departure from Sporting, at a time when the Lions have even put the possibility of renewing with Matheus Reis back on the table.

Furthermore, Matheus Reis would have to fit within the salary parameters set by Corinthians. The management of the São Paulo club aims to reduce the wage bill, although they recognize that the need to strengthen the squad makes this task more challenging.

In total, since joining the Sporting squad from Rio Ave, Matheus Reis has already played 221 matches, during which he scored three goals and made 11 assists. The athlete is also one of the most versatile in the squad, playing both as a center-back and as a left-back.
