Manchester City Pursues Brazilian TeenVitor Reis in January Transfer Window
The Premier League champions are in negotiations with Palmeiras for the 18-year-old, valued at up to €40 million, as they aim to bolster their injury-hit defense.
- Manchester City is in talks with Palmeiras to sign 18-year-old center-back Vitor Reis, with the Brazilian club reportedly seeking a €40 million transfer fee.
- Reis, a former Brazil Under-17 captain, has impressed with his composure on the ball and leadership qualities, having recently broken into Palmeiras' first team.
- City views Reis as a potential immediate addition to the first team rather than sending him out on loan, though an agreement with Palmeiras is still required.
- The move comes as City looks to address a series of defensive injuries, with key players like Rúben Dias, John Stones, and Nathan Aké sidelined this season.
- City is also exploring deals for other targets, including Lens defender Abdukodir Khusanov and Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush, as part of a broader squad rebuild.
