Real Madrid fans are smiling. This summer, the Santiago Bernabéu stadium residents welcomed Kylian Mbappé (25 years old) and Endrick (18 years old). The Brazilian is discovering Europe, he who made Palmeiras happy. To support him, he can count on the Madrid locker room but especially on his fellow Auriverdes, including Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo. Like him, they left their native Brazil and set off to conquer the Old Continent. And we can say that for the moment, it’s working out rather well for them.
Palmeiras defender in sight
Endrick hopes to follow in their footsteps. And he couldn’t be the only one. It’s no secret that the Merengues have eyes all over South America, especially those of scout Juni Calafat. He’s the one who wrapped up the arrivals of young Brazilian talents and Fede Valverde in recent years. Well, the man in the shadows of Real Madrid still wants to make some nice moves. For several months, the name of River Plate star Franco Mastantuono has been associated with the Casa Blanca. This Tuesday, it was Vitor Reis who came out of the hat.
Born in 2006, this 18-year-old defender plays for Palmeiras. A club with which he has already participated in 10 matches with the pros, almost all as a starter. A logical evolution for the number 44, who has proven himself in the club’s youth categories and who has always been considered a great hope. He has also worn the armband and won many titles in the youth category, specifies ASThis 1m86 player also played with the Brazilian youth teams, notably the U17s with whom he won the South American championship.
Endrick knows him well
With great potential, Victor Reis has many qualities. AS explains that he knows how to position himself well, that he has tactical intelligence and that he has good passing quality (95% of successful passes). Versatile, since he can play in the center of the defense but also on the right, he has already played in a five-man defense. Gifted in heading, he also has finishing skills since he has already scored two goals with the pros. Physically powerful and tough on the man in duels, he therefore has everything to please Real Madrid.
AS indicates that this very complete player is being watched very closely by the Madrilenians. The latter also have an ace up their sleeve with their colony of Brazilians and especially Endrick, who knows Vitor Reis very well since they were in the same club. Enough to help the Spanish champions if they ever decided to go further than the stage of interest with the defender, under contract until 2028 with Palmeiras. A club that could still provide one of its nuggets to Real Madrid.
