Per specialized press the reigning Premier League champions have reached a verbal agreement with Palmeiras to sign their star defender Vitor Reis. The agreed fee for the 19-year-old is under €40 million and City want to complete the formalities quickly so the player can join Pep Guardiola's squad immediately.
Reis will fly to Manchester and undergo his medical while Cityzens and Palmeiras thrash out the final terms of the transfer. In the 2024 Brazilian Serie A season, the young defender appeared in 33 matches across all competitions, including 18 league appearances as his club finished second behind champions Botafogo.
The teenager started his football journey in Robinho's R10 academy before being picked up by Palmeiras in 2016. As a wonderfully composed central defensive leader who's very comfortable on the ball, Reis has often been compared to compatriot Marquinhos.
