Inter are hunting for a defensive talent as they are unlikely to keep both Francesco Acerbi and Stefan De Vrij and have laid eyes on Vitor Reis. He’s already on the radar of a few European powerhouses such as Arsenal, Barcelona, Chelsea, and Real Madrid, Goal Brasil reports (via Calciomercato).

The Nerazzurri reached out to intermediaries to gather intel about the budding center-back. They wish to understand whether there’s room to set up the deal since the prodigy has been heavily linked to Los Galacticos.

The Spanish giants have already made their first offer for Vitor Reis, while Inter are in the early stages of their pursuit. In any case, Palmeiras don’t want to part ways with him in January. He’s been at the club since he was ten.

The defender debuted in the pros last June and has progressively earned more minutes. He has tallied 22 appearances this season. He has earned a contract until 2028 with a €100M release clause. He’s been compared to Thiago Silva. His side has a lot of leverage and set a €40M price tag.

Our Take on Inter and Vitor Reis

They seem ready to change their MO after years of spending little on the market, focusing on Bosman deals and reinvesting what they got from the sales. On the other hand, it remains to be seen how much they’ll be comfortable spending for any single acquisition. Surefire prospects don’t come cheap. Keeping one veteran as a mentor and a starlet behind him would be the right strategy. De Vrij is in the lead as he’s a little younger and has been healthier than Acerbi this campaign.
