Club career
Born in Mexico City to former professional footballer Elias who was playing for Pumas Morelos at the time.[2] Having returned to Brazil as a child, he was raised in Cambará in the Brazilian state of Paraná and joined the academy of Fluminense in 2019.[3] He signed his first professional contract with the club in May 2023 - a five-year deal.[4]
On 15 October 2024, he was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best players born in 2007 worldwide.[5]
International career
Having represented Brazil at the 2023 South American U-17 Championship, Reis was called up to the Mexico under-18 side in February 2024, featuring in a friendly match against the youth team of Deportivo Toluca.[2][6] He remains eligible to represent both nations, but in late 2023 he was quoted as saying "without a doubt, Brazil" when asked who he would choose to represent when he turns eighteen.[7][8]
