Manchester City Bids for Palmeiras Defender Vitor Reis

Manchester City is actively pursuing the transfer of 19-year-old Palmeiras defender Vitor Reis, having already made an initial bid that is considered low by the Brazilian club. Reports indicate that while Reis's representatives have agreed to terms with City, the two clubs have yet to finalize a deal, as Palmeiras seeks around €40 million, including bonuses. The ambiguity in City's offer—regarding the breakdown of fixed fees versus bonuses—has contributed to the stalled negotiations. Additionally, Palmeiras prefers to retain Reis until after the summer FIFA Club World Cup, while City aims to secure him for January. City plans to submit an improved offer soon, hoping to meet Palmeiras' expectations and complete the transfer. The situation remains dynamic as both parties continue discussions.
