Vitor Reis would be a future investment

Reis is highly rated in South America and he is regarded as one of the most talented young players to have come out of the Palmeiras system. He could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool are ready to break the bank for him.

The defender has a contract with Palmeiras until the end of 2028, and he has a release clause worth around €100 million. It is a steep price to pay for an unproven talent and the Brazilian club will have to be more reasonable with their demands in order for the move to go through.

It will be interesting to see if Arsenal step up their interest in the player and come forward with an offer to sign him. They could use some defensive depth as well.

Both Arsenal and Liverpool will be exciting destinations for the young defender, and he will look to prove himself in English football. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
