Arsenal could sign wonderkid Vitor Reis to replace Jakub Kiwior in next transfer

According to rumours, a number of elite European teams have shown interest in Vitor Reis, the center back for Palmeiras, including Arsenal. According to The Athletic, Palmeiras and the player’s management have received preliminary inquiries from Real Madrid and Arsenal over the player’s availability. The article also states that while Chelsea, Liverpool, and Barcelona are the other teams who have shown interest in the adolescent, no formal inquiries have been made as of yet.

Because of his style of play, the defender has been likened to Eder Militao of Real Madrid and Marquinhos of PSG. He has played for Brazil’s youth teams 13 times, all as captain, but he has not yet received a senior call-up. Currently, a number of Europe’s best teams are interested in Reis, and a significant transfer war is anticipated.

Arsenal enquire about Vitor Reis

The Athletic claims that about a possible transfer, both parties have gotten in touch with the representatives of Palmeiras and Reis. The defender is wanted by Palmeiras until after the 2025 Club World Cup, despite the fact that no formal approach has been made.

He recently signed a contract that includes an £83 million release clause, so a transaction might close sooner rather than later. Although they have enough defenders, Arsenal is eager to recruit the 18-year-old due to his potential. Gabriel and William Saliba are already the Gunners’ two best center backs, which presents a significant obstacle. Though the Gunners can provide Reis with a pathway akin to that of Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori, Reis can also play at right-back.
