Brazilian teenager set to join for about £30mCity also working to buy Khusanov from Lens
Manchester City are closing in on the signing of the Palmeiras centre-back Vitor Reis with an agreement in principle understood to have been reached. The 19-year-old Brazilian looks set to join the Premier League champions for about £30m.
City are working to bring in another central defender in Lens’s Uzbekistan international Abdukodir Khusanov after a considerable slump in results. They won only once in 13 games as 2024 drew to a close and lie sixth in the league table before Tuesday’s trip to Brentford.
