However, ESPN Brasil says Brighton have stepped in with an offer this week.
The Seagulls tabled a bid of €25m for Reis, which was immediately rejected by Palmeiras.
It's suggested Palmeiras will not consider any offers for the defender before the Club World Cup next year in the USA.
Palmeiras have already sold Estevao Willian to Chelsea, who will move to London at the end of the Premier League season when he turns 18.
