Not Sergio Ramos or Aymeric Laporte: Real Madrid's New Defender is Neymar's Friend

Real Madrid gets ahead of the competition to sign a young Brazilian star to strengthen the team

Real Madrid continues to strengthen its team and, this time, its interest is focused on a young Brazilian talent. According to reports from GOAL Brazil, the club has its sights set on Vitor Reis, an 18-year-old center-back from Palmeiras. His transfer could materialize in the coming months, with the aim of having the defender join the team in January.

A New Brazilian Talent

Vitor Reis has caught the attention of Europe's top clubs due to his great potential. At just 18 years old, he's proven to be one of Brazil's most promising defenders. His ability to anticipate plays, his physical solidity, and his skill with the ball make him one of the most desired pieces in the market.

The person leading the negotiations for the young center-back is Juni Calafat, Real Madrid's chief scout. Calafat has a renowned track record at the club, with an impeccable knack for spotting young talents. If confirmed, Reis's transfer would follow the line of other successful moves by the club with Brazilian players like Vinícius Junior, Rodrygo, and Endrick.

Fierce Competition in Europe

It's not just Real Madrid that's interested in the Palmeiras player. Premier League teams like Chelsea and Arsenal have also shown interest in Vitor Reis. The competition is fierce, but Madrid trusts its history with Brazilians to convince the player.

Real Madrid, known for its ability to develop young talents, sees Reis as a long-term investment. Although the defender still has room for improvement, his incorporation into the club could be an excellent opportunity to continue with the strategic transfer policy. The club doesn't want to miss this opportunity. Although it hasn't been officially confirmed, the offer is expected to come in the winter market.

The Relationship with Neymar

Something interesting about Vitor Reis is his friendship with Neymar. Although it doesn't directly affect his transfer, his friendship with Neymar could give him more visibility in Brazil and add glamour to his profile. Signing a player with these kinds of connections can also be positive in terms of the image of the club.

Real Madrid continues its tradition of signing young talents and, with Vitor Reis, it could make a new splash in the transfer market. The player is one of Brazil's brightest prospects and his arrival at the club could be just a matter of time. Everything points to the future of Madrid's defense being secured with this promising center-back.
