Manchester City, always attentive to emerging talent, has set its sights on Vitor Reis, a young defender from Palmeiras, and has already prepared an offer of 40 million euros to take him to the Etihad. At just 18 years old, the Brazilian is one of the most outstanding promises in South American football and has piqued the interest of several European clubs, although the Premier League champions seem determined to get ahead in the race for his signing.

Palmeiras, aware of the player's value, had initially set his price above 30 million euros, but City is willing to include bonuses that could make the negotiation even more attractive. According to reports from Brazil, discussions between the clubs are advanced, and there is already a verbal agreement with the player himself for his transfer to England.

Manchester City wants to sign Vitor Reis

Reis, who is under contract with Palmeiras until December 2028, has shown rapid growth since signing his first professional contract in 2022. With 22 appearances in the first team, two goals, and over 1,800 minutes on the field, he has established himself as a key piece in his team's defense. His impact has not gone unnoticed, and in 2023, he was included by The Guardian among the best players born in 2006, an accolade he shares with figures like Endrick, now at Real Madrid.

For Manchester City, this move would be part of their long-term renewal and strengthening strategy. Although it's unclear whether Vitor Reis will immediately join the first team or be loaned out for further development, what is evident is that Pep Guardiola and his coaching staff are making a strong bet on young world-class talent. In the coming days, this transfer could be confirmed, marking another major success in the club's transfer policy.
