Chelsea have already held talks to sign Vitor Reis
As per GOAL Brazil, the Blues have held talks with the player’s representatives in the recent days. They have done so to gain some important information about the deal to sign Reis. Along with Chelsea, Real Madrid, Arsenal and Inter Milan are also keen to sign the 18 year old.
Reis is going to be next big topic in the transfer market very soon. The 18 year old has €100 million release clause in his current contract. Palmeiras have tied him with a contract running until 2028 which makes them strong in demanding a premium fee.
Chelsea are known for making big moves and spending big amount on young player. But, they may hesitate to spend this much on a player who has less experience at the highest level. But, they can’t sit still as the player already have many suitors who could be willing to pay premium and secure his long term future.
The Blues are very likely to enter the January market to sign defender. As of now, it is very unlikely that they go for Reis. Instead they could also look for temporary solutions and sign defender on loan.
