In October,Football Insider reported that Liverpool had joined the race to sign Palmeiras’ rising star, Vitor Reis, although their main priority remains to strengthen their central defense.
The report also noted that Reis is eager to move to Europe and pursue his dream of playing in the Champions League. However, Palmeiras seems determined to keep him for now.
ESPN Brazil further mentioned interest from Manchester United, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain. With Reis tied to a contract until December 2028 and a €100 million release clause, a quick transfer appears unlikely.
For now, top clubs are expected to keep an eye on the Brazilian defender’s progress throughout the season.
