Real Madrid is facing one of the most challenging defensive situations in recent years. Long-term injuries to Dani Carvajal and Éder Militao, along with Lucas Vázquez's absence due to muscle problems and uncertainty surrounding David Alaba, have left the white team in a critical situation at the back. Given this scenario, the sports management is assessing possible reinforcements for the upcoming winter transfer window, and one name stands out on the list: Vitor Reis.
The young Brazilian defender, aged just 18, is one of the great prospects of Palmeiras. With a contract until 2028 and an estimated value of 10 million euros, his profile has caught the attention of Real Madrid, particularly for his versatility. Besides his natural position as a center-back, Reis can also play as a right-back, a position that is especially weakened in Carlo Ancelotti's team.
The defender Calafat wants at Real Madrid
The work of talent scout Juni Calafat has been crucial in positioning Reis as a priority option. Valdebebas highlights not only his physical and technical skills but also his personality and maturity to take on challenges despite his young age. Like Endrick, who also came through Palmeiras, the young player dreams of making the leap to European football.
According to Sport, although Real Madrid does not rule out waiting until summer to make signings, the situation could prompt a move in January. Vitor Reis fits the policy of betting on young talents with potential, but his signing will depend on whether Florentino Pérez opts for an immediate investment or decides to trust in youth academy promises. The final decision is still up in the air, but Reis is already among the favorites to strengthen the white defense. The next month will be crucial in defining his future.
