After leaving Sporting, Matheus Reis brings news at CSKA | OneFootball

After being released by Sporting early Monday afternoon, February 9, just before the match against Porto, Matheus Reis recently successfully completed the series of medical exams he underwent in recent days, with a view to signing a contract with CSKA Moscow, reported the Russian press.

Having been authorized to travel to Russia, the 30-year-old defender is thus very close to being officially announced as a reinforcement for the Moscow team. Just like at Alvalade, at his new club, Matheus Reis will wear the number 2 jersey. It is expected that he will join the training sessions this weekend during the training camp that CSKA is holding in the United Arab Emirates.

As our newspaper had previously reported, Matheus Reis will earn an annual salary of €3.5 million per year in a contract valid for three and a half seasons, plus an optional year. His contract with Sporting, a club he had been representing since early 2021, was about to expire, so he leaves the Alvalade club on a free transfer.

It should be noted that, initially, one of the main obstacles to finalizing the deal was the difficulties faced by many foreign players - especially those from the European Union - in transferring funds out of Russia, due to the financial embargo imposed by the EU.

In total, since joining the Sporting squad from Rio Ave, Matheus Reis played 222 matches, during which he scored three goals and made 11 assists. During this period, the defender contributed to winning three national championships, one Portuguese Cup, one League Cup, and one Portuguese Super Cup.
