Barcelona and Real Madrid in race over Brazilian prospect’s signing – report | OneFootball

According to a report from Fichajes, Palmeiras defender Vitor Reis has caught the attention of several top European teams, and Real Madrid and Barcelona happen to be in the same race.

It is said that Reis is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after players for Europe’s biggest clubs. At just 18 years old, this talented Brazilian has caught the eye of top teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, Barcelona, and Real Madrid.

These clubs have already sent scouts to closely monitor his progress, showing that a potential transfer could be on the horizon. Reis’ future seems likely to be far from Brazil, as interest in him grows with each passing day.

Palmeiras’ youth academy has a reputation for developing talented players, and Reis is the latest star to attract international attention. The recent sale of Endrick to Real Madrid, even before he turned 18, highlights how well the Sao Paulo club has capitalised on its young talents.

This successful transfer has paved the way for other promising players, like Reis, who aspire to make the jump to Europe and follow in the footsteps of their fellow Brazilians in some of the world’s top leagues.

It has been suggested that interest in Reis is steadily rising among several European clubs. Scouts from Liverpool and Arsenal have been spotted at multiple Palmeiras games, keen to see the young defender in action.

Meanwhile, Barcelona and Real Madrid have shown a consistent interest in him as well. His performances have been impressive, resulting in very positive reports, and making a move to Europe appear more likely than ever.

However, Palmeiras are well aware of Reis’ value and are in no rush to let him go. With a contract that binds him to the club until 2028, Palmeiras hold a strong position in any upcoming negotiations.

Any club wishing to sign Reis will need to offer a substantial fee, similar to the amounts that Real Madrid and Barcelona have paid for other promising talents in the past.

Despite this, both Arsenal and Liverpool could also enter the race for this defender, who shows great potential to become a star in European football.
