A young talent on the horizon
Real Madrid have set their sights on Vitor Reis, an 18-year-old Brazilian centre-back who is making a remarkable mark at Palmeiras. This young promise has captured the interest of Juni Calafat, responsible for the club’s talent shield, who perceives in Reis a resemblance to Éder Militao, one of the pillars of the current defense.
A change of strategy after a loss
After the frustrating loss of Leny Yoro, who has opted for Manchester United, Madrid has accelerated its search for a new centre-back. With players like Vallejo and Tchouaméni able to take on immediate responsibilities, the club’s management is aware of the urgency of finding a successor for Alaba and Rüdiger, who will soon be over 30 years old.
The ideal profile for defense
Vitor Reis perfectly fits the needs of the white club: young, with a promising future and defensive skills that already make him stand out in Brazilian football. Although his release clause is around 100 million euros, it is rumored that Palmeiras would be willing to negotiate for around 30 million, an amount that, considering his potential, is quite attractive.
Florentino’s approval
With the support of Florentino Pérez, now only details are missing to close the deal that could bring Reis to the Santiago Bernabéu. This addition would not only strengthen the defense immediately, but also represent an investment in a player who could become one of the biggest names in European football.
A look into the future
Florentino’s trust in Calafat is firm, and if the latter recommends the incorporation of Reis, it is very likely that the operation will materialize. Real Madrid fans should stay tuned as the signing of this youngster could be a significant step towards a bright future for the club’s defence.
