The 18-year-old is one of the best young centre-backs in Brazil. He has been tipped to secure a bigger challenge next summer.

Liverpool and Arsenal are among his main admirers alongside Real Madrid and the trio have started talks with his entourage too.

Mirror have described Reis as a 'world-class talent' with superb ball-winning skills and fantastic long-range passing ability.

The youngster currently has a huge release clause worth £85m in his contract but Palmeiras could sanction his sale for £50m.

It remains to be seen whether Liverpool or Arsenal will compete with Madrid for his signature or stick with their current options.

The Reds could be tempted to spend big on the wonderkid if Virgil van Dijk were to leave the club at the expiry of his contract next summer.

Arsenal could move for the talented starlet, suppose Takehiro Tomiyasu and Jakub Kiwior were to head for the exit door at the same time.
