Matheus Reis impresses at Sporting, future already decided | OneFootball

Matheus Reis is one of the players who enjoys the greatest confidence from Rui Borges in the Sporting squad. Although his departure at the end of the season is still on the table, the Lions' coach wants the 'number 2' to see out his role at Alvalade until the end.

Even though he is no longer a regular choice in the green and white lineup, the Brazilian is one of the most experienced players in the squad, with his commitment, work ethic, dedication, and competitiveness making Rui Borges see him as an exemplary player.

According to the newspaper A Bola, Matheus Reis is not expected to renew with Sporting. However, this will not influence the coach’s decisions for the remainder of the season—in spite of not being on the 'front lines', the Brazilian will continue to be among the options.

During the summer transfer window, Matheus Reis had already been linked with the Brazilian league, after receiving threats from Benfica fans following the Portuguese Cup final. Palmeiras, managed by Abel Ferreira, was the club that showed the most interest.

In total, since joining the green and whites from Rio Ave, Matheus Reis has played 208 matches, scoring three goals and providing 10 assists. The player is also one of the most versatile in the squad, playing both as a center-back and as a left-back.
