Real Madrid have suffered a lot from injuries in recent days, especially in the defensive system. Dani Carvajal, Eder Militão, Aurélien Tchouameni, Ferland Mendy and Edouardo Camavinga, as well as goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and other senior players such as Jude Bellingham, Dani Ceballos, Brahim Díaz and Vinicius Jr were all entrusted to the Merengues medical department in an already well-stocked infirmary. According to MARCAthe club’s excessive problems in defense will prompt Madrid management to look for reinforcements in the January transfer market. Defender Joan Martínez, considered a gem of Real Madrid’s academy, is also being evaluated as an option for the future, but he was also recently injured after rupturing his cruciate ligaments and is only expected to return to the pitch in February 2025. According to information fromESPN Brasilthe solution for Real Madrid could well be found in Brazil.
Indeed, the media reported in August that the revelation of Palmeiras, Vitor Reis, was in the sights of Real Madrid and three other European clubs for the future: Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal and Manchester United. Although they have not yet sent an official offer for Vitor Reis, the Spanish club considers the gem as one of the options for the European winter market. The report recently revealed that there are two factors that please the Spanish team regarding Vítor Reis: the price and the talent shown by the athlete of the main team of Palmeiras. A logical development for the No. 44, who has exploded within the club’s youth categories and who has always been considered a great hope. He also wore the armband and won numerous youth titles.
The Merengues ready for action
Real Madrid understands that the Brazilian market can offer more advantageous figures in a negotiation than any European team. With great potential, Victor Reis has many qualities. The newspaper A.S. explains that he has tactical intelligence and good passing quality (95% successful passes). Versatile, since he can play in the axis of defense, but also on the right, the native of São José dos Campos has already played in a five-man defense. Solid in the aerial game, he also has finishing skills. Physically powerful and hard on the man in duels, Vitor Reis has everything to please Real Madrid. The Madrilenians also have an ace up their sleeve with their strong community of Brazilians and South Americans with Endrick at the head of the pack, who knows Vitor Reis very well since they were in the same club. Enough to help the Spanish champions if they ever decide to go further than the stage of interest with the defender, under contract until 2028 with Palmeiras.
A club which could still provide one of its nuggets to Real Madrid. But getting Vitor Reis out of the country won’t be easy. The young Brazilian nugget signed a contract renewal with Palmeiras in August until 2028 and is linked to a release clause worth 100 million euros, or more than 600 million Brazilian reais. ESPN Brasil reveals that the São Paulo club would agree to negotiate the sale of its player for a lower value than that indicated in the contract. Between the national under-20 team and the main team of Palmeiras, Vitor Reis played 28 matches, also scoring four goals. The Spanish newspaper MARCA also reports that Real Madrid have listed Castello Lukeba from RB Leipzig, Jorrel Hato from Ajax. Real Madrid is therefore preparing to take action and thwart all European competition.
