To avoid any last-minute eventuality and any problems, Fluminense has just signed the renewal of Mexican Matheus Reis's contract, with the highest buyout clause in Brazilian football, around $80 million.

Undoubtedly an exorbitant sum for teams in the leagues of the American continent, with a contract that will extend until 2030 to protect one of their true gems, who, by a twist of fate, was born in Mexico City 18 years ago.

This amount is so exorbitant that only a European football team could afford to negotiate with the young player, and the Brazilian club announced on its social media that it had just signed a contract extension to secure him and prevent him from leaving at the last minute without generating any profit for them.

Regarding the agreement, the young player commented: "I am very happy to have achieved this goal. It was something I wanted, and I am very grateful and happy for this renewal. It's happening as I wanted; I started the season playing, making my professional debut. Thank God I was able to debut well and help the team. And, God willing, this was just the beginning, and everything will go well for us this year."

Journalistic reports in Brazil assure The contract buyout clause is prohibitively expensive for teams in the Americas, and Fluminense has been gradually developing him with the aim of cultivating a talent for Brazilian football and the Selecao, although Mexican national team officials have already contacted him to try and convince him to represent El Tri in the future.

His Mexican Origins

Matheus Reis was born in Mexico City 19 years ago as the son of former Brazilian footballer Elias Reis, and although he has lived most of his life in his father's country, It cannot be denied that he has the valid documentation to represent Mexico, having already accepted several call-ups to the Mexican youth national teams. But the reality is that his preference leans towards the Brazilian national team, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him facing Mexico in the near future,especially since he currently has nine appearances with the Brazilian U-17 team. Matheus Reis's case is similar to that of Giovanni and Jonathan Dos Santos, whose father was Brazilian and who were born in Mexico. They chose to represent Mexico because of their mother's nationality, which ultimately tipped the scales in favor of El Tri.
