Ludovit Reis (born 1 June 2000) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for 2. Bundesliga club Hamburger SV.

Club career

Groningen

Reis played in the youth departments of SV Hoofddorp and FC Groningen. In 2017, he signed a contract with Groningen, keeping him in the club until 2020. On 21 September 2017, he made his professional debut for the first team in a Dutch Cup match, starting against USV Hercules. He was substituted off for Ajdin Hrustic in the 59th minute, as the match ended 4–2 to Groningen.

On 29 October 2017, Reis scored his first first-team goal in the Eredivisie against Sparta Rotterdam. Thereby he became the first player to be born in the 2000s to score in the first division of Dutch football. On 19 November 2017, he received his second yellow card in a match against Vitesse, becoming the youngest player ever in the Eredivisie to be sent off.[1]

Barcelona

After Groningen were knocked out by Vitesse in the 2018–19 Dutch play-offs for European competitions 4–3 on aggregate, Reis signed a five-year contract with FC Barcelona until 2024.[2] Barcelona paid an initial fee of around €3m, which could rise to €8m if various clauses were met.[3] He was assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B, and he made his debut on 25 August 2020 in a 2–0 away win against CF Badalona.[4]

Loan to VfL Osnabrück

On 3 October 2020, Reis joined 2. Bundesliga side VfL Osnabrück on a season-long loan.[5] [6] At the end of the season, Osnabrück were relegated after losing to FC Ingolstadt 04 in the relegation playoff.[7]

Hamburger SV

On 28 June 2021, Reis joined Hamburger SV and signed a four-year contract, with Barcelona retaining 25% of the rights to any future transfer sale.[8] [9]

In June 2023, after Hamburg had failed to win promotion, Reis was linked with a move away; however, Reis and the club announced that he would be staying in Hamburg for another season.[10]

International career

Reis was born in the Netherlands to Slovak parents which makes him eligible to represent Slovakia internationally.[11] [12] He has played for the Dutch U19 team since 2018, playing five matches in the 2019 UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualifiers.[13]

Reis was part of the Dutch U21 team in the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship and played in the group stage.[14] He was called up for the squad in the knockout stage, but withdrew in order to play for his club side Osnabrück in the 2. Bundesliga relegation playoff.[15]
