Manchester City has strengthened their squad by signing the 19-year-old defender Vitor Reis from Palmeiras for £29.6 million, marking the club's ongoing rebuild. This acquisition follows the recent signing of another centre-half, Abdukodir Khusanov, bringing their total spending to £63.4 million, with further investment planned for forward Omar Marmoush. Reis, who has played for Brazil's youth teams and made 22 appearances for Palmeiras' first team, signed a four-and-a-half-year contract. City's director of football praised him as one of the world's top young defenders, underscoring his ball skills and aerial strength.
Reis has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract and was described by City’s director of football as one of the most promising young defenders in the world.
He is excellent on the ball and outstanding in the air; he has all the attributes needed to be one of the best.
Working with Pep Guardiola is something every young player wants to do, and I know he can help me to develop into the best player I can be.
City also have a lot of experience of working with Brazilian footballers, and joining the likes of Ederson and Savinho in the squad will be a big help to me.
