Real Madrid Make Contact With €40M-Rated Inter Milan, PSG-Linked Youngster | OneFootball

With the 2024 Brasileirão season now over, top European clubs are now beginning to circle young talent to pursue in the January transfer window. One player drawing a lot of interest is Palmeiras’ rising star, Vitor Reis.

In October, Football Insider reported that Liverpool have joined the race to sign Palmeiras’ promising young defender, Vitor Reis, as part of their efforts to strengthen their central defense.

The report also noted that Reis is eager to move to Europe and fulfill his dream of playing in the Champions League. However, Palmeiras appears determined to keep him for the time being.

ESPN Brazil added that Manchester United, Arsenal, and Paris Saint-Germain are also keeping an eye on Reis. With the defender under contract until December 2028 and a €100 million release clause, a transfer doesn’t seem likely anytime soon.

According to GOAL Brasil, Real Madrid, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Inter Milan have recently contacted Reis. The report also suggests that Real Madrid have had the longest-standing interest in the defender.

Despite the interest from European clubs, a report from BILD claims that Palmeiras want to keep him and won’t let him leave easily. Additionally, he has a contract until 2028 and a release clause of €100 million, which no club is willing to pay at the moment.

Inter Milan are keen on signing Reis, but his hefty price tag could be a major obstacle. As reported by Italian outlet FCInterNews, the 18-year-old is expected to cost a minimum of €40 million.
