Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool enter transfer battle for Brazilian starlet | OneFootball

Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are among a number of top clubs who have reportedly “shown an interest” in signing Brazilian rising star Vitor Reis.

The 18-year-old centre-back joined Palmeiras in 2016 and has made 15 appearances for the club since making his debut in June. He has also scored two goals for the Série A outfit.

The Gunners and Real Madrid have “made initial enquiries” with Palmeiras and the player’s representatives about his availability, according to The Athletic. There have been “no formal approaches” as of yet.

Barcelona have also “expressed an interest” in the teenager, who earlier this year extended his contract until December 2028.

His termination clause is said to be set at €100 million (£83m), but Palmeiras have not yet decided upon an asking price as they intend to hold onto him until after the 2025 Club World Cup.

Arsenal are not lacking for high quality defenders, which may prove an obstacle in persuading Reis to move to north London.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, only have two first-team centre-backs available this season in Eder Militao and Antonio Rudiger, while David Alaba is recovering from a knee injury. The Spanish club missed out on signing Lenny Yoro to Manchester United in the summer.
