Club career

[edit | edit source]

São Paulo

[edit | edit source]

Born in São João da Boa Vista, São Paulo,[2] Reis joined São Paulo FC's academy at the age of 13. He started his senior career with Clube Atlético Sorocaba, on loan.[3]

Reis made his debut in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A for São Paulo on 2 July 2015, in a 2–1 away loss against Club Athletico Paranaense.[4] In January 2017, he was loaned to fellow top-division club Esporte Clube Bahia.[5]

On 1 January 2018, still on loan, Reis moved to Portugal with Moreirense FC.[6] His first Primeira Liga appearance took place on 4 February, when he came on as a 79th-minute substitute for Arsénio Nunes in the 2–1 away win over C.D. Tondela.[7]

Rio Ave

[edit | edit source]

On 26 June 2018, Reis signed with Rio Ave F.C. for an undisclosed fee.[8] He made his competitive debut one month later, in a 1–0 defeat at Jagiellonia Białystok in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League.[9]

Reis scored his only goal for the Vila do Conde-based side on 27 January 2020, their second of a 2–1 away victory over Vitória de Guimarães.[10] After refusing to play against the same opposition early into the 2020–21 season, he was suspended by the board of directors.[11]

Sporting CP

[edit | edit source]

Reis joined Sporting CP on a five-month loan on 2 February 2021.[12] In the summer, after his three-year contract with Rio Ave expired, he agreed to a permanent four-year deal with a 45 million buyout clause.[13]

Reis won the 2020–21, 2023–24 and 2024–25 national championships during his tenure at the Estádio José Alvalade, contributing respectively 15, 27 and 30 games to these achievements.[14][15] He made his 200th appearance for the Lions on 10 May 2025, in a 1–1 draw away to S.L. Benfica.[16] Fifteen days later, at the start of injury time of the Taça de Portugal final against the same adversary, who led 1–0, he and teammate Maximiliano Araújo brought Andrea Belotti down as he tried to protect the ball near the corner flag, and Reis deliberately stamped on the Italian's head; no foul was awarded and Sporting went on to claim the trophy 3–1, and he subsequently boasted of his actions on social media.[17][18][19] On 30 July, in spite of an appeal, a five-match suspension for him was confirmed.[20]
