Palmeiras Rejects Manchester City's €40M Offer for Reis
Palmeiras has turned down Manchester City's €40 million bid for Vitor Reis, demanding a higher valuation for their defensive prodigy.
Palmeiras, one of Brazil's most prestigious football clubs, has rejected a €40 million bid from Manchester City for their rising star Vitor Reis. The 18-year-old defender has emerged as a standout talent, making 22 appearances for Palmeiras' senior team since his debut in 2024.
Known for his tactical intelligence and composure under pressure, Reis has quickly attracted attention from top European clubs. Manchester City's offer underscores their interest in securing the services of this promising center-back to strengthen their defensive lineup. However, Palmeiras has signaled their intent to retain Reis, particularly as they prepare for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup, where his presence is considered crucial.
Club president Leila Pereira addressed the situation during an interview with TNT Sports, stating, "Manchester City made a formal offer for Vitor Reis, but it fell short of our valuation. We are open to negotiations, but the terms must meet the expectations of Palmeiras, the player, and the potential buyer. No agreement has been reached so far."
Palmeiras has also reportedly turned down interest from other clubs, including Brighton & Hove Albion, further indicating their high regard for Reis. The club believes that his development in Brazil will not only benefit the team in the short term but also increase his market value in the future.
The rejection of Manchester City's initial bid highlights the growing competition among European clubs for top South American talent. As the January transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen whether City or other suitors will improve their offers to match Palmeiras' expectations. For now, Vitor Reis continues to play a pivotal role for Palmeiras, solidifying his reputation as one of Brazil's brightest young prospects.
