In recent times, Real Madrid have had immense success investing in South American football, having unearthed talents such as Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr. and Federico Valverde.
The reigning European champions have shown no signs of stopping their investments either, with Brazilian talent Endrick becoming the latest player to join the ranks.
As Real Madrid look to continue their scouting project in South America, they have come across yet another talent in the form of Vitor Reis.
Real Madrid tracking Vitor Reis
According to Mundo Deportivo, Real Madrid are closely following the situation of the Palmeiras starlet, who is making waves in Brazilian football.
A centre-back by trade, Reis made his breakthrough in the Palmeiras team last year and has since racked up ten competitive appearances.
Standing at 1.86m, Reis has impressed onlookers with his imposing presence at the back, which is coupled with his athleticism.
Impressed by his performances, Real Madrid are eyeing a future move for the young defender. They have, in fact, already contacted Palmeiras to explore the possibility of a transfer.
Major obstacle for Real Madrid
However, Real Madrid are going to face a massive obstacle in their bid to sign Vitor Reis.
That is because the young defender has recently renewed his contract at Palmeiras, and his new deal does not expire until 2028.
The report adds that Reis’ new contract likely includes a release clause, which could easily reach up to €100 million.
Palmeiras, after all, are a club that know well how to market their young talents. Having yielded millions through the sale of their star talents, the Brazilian outfit will hold out for a big sum for their latest sensation.
