European clubs have long embraced the practice of signing young Brazilian talents. However, South American teams are equally determined to demand proper compensation for their players.
Details: According to FcInterNews, Inter Milan is keeping a close eye on Palmeiras' 18-year-old defender Vitor Reis. However, the Brazilian giants have no intention of parting with their rising star cheaply, setting a price tag of at least €40 million for the "Nerazzurri." Despite his seemingly inevitable future in Europe, Reis is far from being a bargain deal.
Reminder: The 18-year-old center-back had previously drawn interest from Chelsea, Liverpool, and Real Madrid. The Spanish club reportedly viewed Reis as an alternative to Lille's defender Leny Yoro, who ultimately joined Manchester United.
