Palmeiras are said to be aware of the interest in Reis but are in no rush to sell the defender, who is contracted to the club until 2028.

Fichajes claims that the Brazilian outfit will hold the "upper hand" in any negotiations and only a "considerable sum" will convince them to part ways with the defender.

Back at Anfield, meanwhile, the Premier League has finally approved Rio Ngumoha's move from Chelsea to Liverpool.

The 16-year-old England youth international will join up with the Reds' under-18s after his signing was ratified by the league on Wednesday.

As he rejected Chelsea's scholarship offer, the Londoners will be entitled to a compensation fee from Liverpool.

It's expected Ngumoha will be blooded into the under-18s setup with Marc Bridge-Wilkinson for the coming campaign before being assessed for a potential call-up to the U21s and Liverpool are delighted at managing to bring the 16-year-old to their thriving Kirkby base.

Club scouts have been hugely impressed with the skilful winger during checks and after listening to the enticing pitch laid out by Liverpool, Ngumoha has now moved to Merseyside.
