Groningen director Hans Nijland has confirmed that negotiations with Barcelona have taken place for the 18-year-old midfielder.
It was expected that Barcelona would sign Reis for their B team but Sport believe they want to send him on loan to Real Betis instead.
Barcelona have done the same with right-back Emerson, who is currently on loan from Atlético Mineiro to Real Betis but will move to the Nou Camp this summer.
I wonder if Valverde can be on loan for two years at Betis in exchange for Quique Setién!
