Following his father's footsteps, Dos Reis began playing futsal at a young age at Polaris World Cartagena.[2] He then switched to football, moving to Cornellà's youth academy in the 2012–13 season.[3] Despite Barcelona showing interest in signing him to their futsal team,[2] Dos Reis remained at Cornellà until 2014–15.[3] He eventually joined Barcelona's youth academy in the 2015–16 season,[3] aged 11.[4] He was sent back on loan to Cornella in 2020–21.[4]
On 26 January 2022, Dos Reis signed for Birmingham City, joining their Under-23s squad.[5] His contract was extended by 12 months on 17 May.[6] He scored scored three goals in nine games for the Under-23s in the first half of the 2021–22 season.[7]
On 31 January 2022,[8] Serie B side Monza purchased Dos Reis on an 18-month contract, with an option for a further year.[9] He was integrated into Monza's Primavera 2 (under-19) squad,[7] helping them reach the 2021–22 promotion play-offs.[7]
Dos Reis received his first senior call-up by Monza ahead of their Coppa Italia game against Udinese on 19 October 2022.[10]
