This summer, Manchester brought in Savinho, a young Brazilian who had shown himself at sister club Girona last season. Six months later, Pep Guardiola has confirmed the 20-year-old has brought £100m player Jack Grealish to the bench. Now City are looking for a significant sum for the next Brazilian. This time it’s about an 18-year-old who still hasn’t been able to show off in European football.
The 18-year-old is listed with 22 first-team appearances for Brazilian side Palmeiras, the centre-back has worn the yellow national team shirt 11 times in various youth national teams. Previously, Real Madrid and Brighton have been linked to the jewel, now Brazilian UOL reports that Manchester City have decided to leave with the signature.
The Brazilian media reports that the parties have been in negotiations, where a bid from the light blue part of Manchester of a solid 40 million euros is ticking in.
Reis has a physique, pace and technique that is made for the world’s toughest league. In 2023, The Guardian named the Brazilian as one of the best players in the world from the 2006 vintage.
