“But five or six months ago, this team with more than 30 years of history won its fourth consecutive Premier League title.
“We knew sooner or later we should do it, but what happened was unexpected.
“The best way is to do it gradually, but after the injury – wow – maybe we should do it.
“But you never know in that position. I think the team is really good and the roster is really good, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to achieve what we did last season.”
Reis 'not ready for Premier League'
South American football expert Tim Vickery told Sky Sports News:
“Palmeiras is in the Club World Cup and they really want to keep the centre-back.
“I don't think he's ready for the Premier League at the moment. He's classy but he needs to add physical qualities.
“Palmeiras has produced a lot of good players recently – most of them attackers.
“If you put him in the Premier League now he would really get bullied. So maybe it's in everyone's interest for him to stay in Brazilian football a little longer.”
