Real Madrid to consider signing highly-rated Brazilian teenager in January

Real Madrid will almost certainly aim to sign a new centre-back in 2025, with the only question being whether the pursuit will be launched in January or postponed until the summer. Carlo Ancelotti wants an addition as soon as possible as he currently only has Antonio Rudiger and Raul Asencio as fit options.

In recent weeks, Real Madrid have added targets to their shortlist, and one of them is Palmeiras' Vitor Reis. According to Le Journal du Real (via Sport), a move in January is being considered for the 18-year-old, who is considered a top talent in Brazil.

Real Madrid have a strong relationship with Palmeiras following the Endrick Felipe negotiations two years ago. Reis would be a very good signing, although it would not be too wise if he is the only central defender the club signs in 2025, given his youth and lack of experience in European football.
