Corinthians step in for player yet to renew with Sporting | OneFootball

Corinthians have made an initial approach for Matheus Reis. According to the Brazilian press, the club, through its executive football director Marcelo Paz, has started talks with the representatives of the Sporting player in recent weeks.

Still, according to information revealed by UOL, the São Paulo club was informed that there is interest from another European team in the full-back. In addition, Santos has also sought to gather information about Rui Borges' number 2, but ended up being warned about the ongoing move by Corinthians.

There is still much to consider. Apparently, Corinthians will only move forward with a potential deal if the operation can be carried out without transfer costs. For this 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 will have to fit within the salary parameters defined 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 demanding.

In total, since joining the Sporting squad from Rio Ave, Matheus Reis has already played 221 matches, during which he scored three goals and provided 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.
