Palmeiras may soon part ways with 18-year-old center back Vitor Reis, as he looks set to join Manchester City.
Manchester City under Pep Guardiola seems to have outwitted competition from clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter in securing young talent.
Insiders have revealed that the Premier League champions are preparing an initial offer of €40m for the player, signaling their strong intent to clinch his signature.
Vitor Reis Likely to Sign With Man City
The confidence in securing Reis’s move is further bolstered by reports suggesting that Palmeiras is willing to accept City’s offer. The acceptance is likely due to a verbal agreement already being in place between City and Reis on personal terms.
Additionally, Manchester City’s interest isn’t limited to Reis alone; they are also closely monitoring the development of Palmeiras’ 18-year-old striker, Luighi. Scouts have been dispatched to assess Luighi’s progress in recent weeks, indicating City’s broader scouting ambitions within Palmeiras’ ranks.
Future Stars from Palmeiras Eyeing Europe
Vitor Reis may join Palmeiras alumni such as Endrick to Real Madrid, Luis Guilherme to West Ham United and Estevao to Chelsea as big name moves across Europe – further proof of Palmeiras’ ability in nurturing young talent.
Although Palmeiras might not typically be seen as an aggressive selling club, their recent strategy has resulted in significant earnings from player sales which has put them on a firm financial footing.
