Arsenal and Real Madrid have reportedly initiated their moves to sign 18-year-old Palmeiras centre-back Vitor Reis, a target for Barcelona and Chelsea.
According to a report by Mario Cortegana of The Athletic, Arsenal and Real Madrid are keen on signing Vitor Reis. The two European heavyweights have submitted initial enquiries to land the Palmeiras defensive sensation. Meanwhile, the 18-year-old centre-back is also a target for Chelsea and Barcelona.
Vitor Reis has emerged as the latest wonderkid at Palmeiras to rise in prominence in his homeland. A native of San Jose dos Campos, the teenage prospect graduated from the youth division at Palmeiras before breaking into the first-team squad and has already turned out 15 times thus far for the Brazilian club. Meanwhile, the youngster’s progress has piqued the interest of high-profile clubs like Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Chelsea.
A man in demand
Real Madrid recently contacted Palmeiras regarding a possible move for the 18-year-old, who can be Eder Militao’s long-term central defensive partner. With Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba on the wrong side of 30, the Palmeiras defensive sensation is in the ideal age profile to learn the ropes from the duo before taking over as the first-choice centre-back.
As for Arsenal, the North London club might part ways with Jakub Kiwior next year. In addition, the versatile Takehiro Tomiyasu faces an uncertain future at the Emirates. So, the Palmeiras prodigy has emerged as a viable target for Arsenal. The Gunners and Real Madrid have submitted initial enquiries to land the young central defender.
Meanwhile, Barcelona’s interest in Vitor Reis is understandable. With Inigo Martinez on the wrong side of 30 and Ronald Araujo facing an uncertain future at the Catalan club, the Brazilian wonderkid is an option worth considering for Barcelona.
As for Chelsea, the West London club’s interest in the teenage prospect is somewhat perplexing. However, amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term future of Benoit Badiashile, Chelsea might turn to the Palmeiras centre-back to replace the Frenchman.
With Real Madrid and Arsenal making the initial moves to sign the 18-year-old whizkid, Barcelona and Chelsea must step up to go head-to-head with their fellow European bigwigs. It will be interesting to see where Vitor Reis’s career takes him next.
