The information about City 's interest in Vitor Reis came from UOL. The youngster already has a verbal agreement with the English club, according to the site. Journalist Fabrizio Romano added that the Citizens are in Brazil to formalise the proposal at a meeting with Palmeiras.
Manchester City are in a hurry to strengthen their defence and want Vitor Reis in January. The centre-back has been with Palmeiras since 2016, when he was picked up at the age of 10.
Vitor Reis broke into the Verdao first team in mid-2024 and quickly established himself. The youngster made 22 appearances last season, 20 of them as a starter, and scored two goals.
The defender also has a distinguished career with the Brazilian U-17 national team. Reis captained the team at the last FIFA U-17 World Cup in 2023.
