A talent a day, Vitor Reis: a central defender for every season. They all want it

Vitor ReisPalmeiras’ 18-year-old central defender, is currently being followed by several top European teams, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain. His performances in Brazil attracted attention not only for his technical ability, but also for his physical presence and tactical intelligence.

Reis is known for his strength in tackling and his ability to read the game, qualities that are reminiscent of defenders such as Eder Militao and Marquinhos, to speak of his compatriots. He can also play as a right back, adding versatility to his main position. At youth level, he represented Brazil and was often the captain of his team, thus also demonstrating leadership qualities on the pitch. His contract with Palmeiras has a release clause of 100 million euros, but it is said that the club could be open to negotiating a lower price, making him a potentially more accessible target than other young European defenders.
