Manchester City Close to Signing 35m Victor Reis
Vitor Reis, the talented 18-year-old centre-back from Palmeiras, is set to make an immediate impact at Manchester City, as the club moves quickly to secure his services.
As revealed yesterday, Reis will not remain at Palmeiras until July, as initially expected, but will instead join City right away.
This decision highlights the urgency and confidence Manchester City has in his potential, marking an exciting new chapter for the young defender’s career.
Reis’ move to Manchester City has been finalized with a medical already scheduled, and the terms of his contract have been approved. The deal is set to be officially completed, with all necessary procedures being taken care of in the coming days.
City’s swift action in securing the highly regarded centre-back reflects their clear belief in his ability to contribute to their defensive options from the very start.
The transfer price for Reis is reported to be around €35 million, a significant investment for the Premier League champions. This fee underscores the high regard in which the player is held, not only within Brazil but also across European football.
In addition to the initial fee, the deal includes a resale clause, which could prove beneficial for both Palmeiras and Manchester City should Reis eventually move on in the future.
At just 18 years old, Reis has already impressed with his maturity, composure, and defensive qualities at Palmeiras. His signing fits into Manchester City’s long-term vision of building a team that combines experienced talents with emerging stars.
With his potential to develop further under the guidance of Pep Guardiola and the City’s coaching staff, Reis is expected to become a key part of the club’s future defensive setup.
This transfer continues Manchester City’s trend of strengthening their squad with top-tier young talent, preparing for continued success both domestically and in Europe.
