Overview
- Palmeiras academy director João Paulo Sampaio said Reis will be Brazil’s centre-back for the next three or four World Cups, praising his technique, physique, mentality and leadership.
- Reis leads La Liga U-20 players this season in minutes, interceptions and accurate long balls, outpacing peers such as Lamine Yamal and Franco Mastantuono.
- Manchester City signed the defender from Palmeiras in January 2025 for about £29 million before loaning him to sister club Girona to secure senior minutes.
- City are closely tracking his progress and will conduct a standard review of his loan in January, with little current indication of an early recall.
- Girona are 18th in La Liga, and Reis is expected to start upcoming matches, including Real Betis this week and Real Madrid the following week.
