Manchester City officials have embarked on a journey to secure a January signing. The situation has recently become more severe.

On Thursday, we reported on allegations from Brazil that Manchester City has reached a verbal agreement with Vitor Reis and is in the process of finalising a deal with Palmeiras. UOL reported that the English champions are in a hurry to finalise a deal for the 18-year-old in the winter market later that day.

According to Gazeta Esportiva, the Brazilian club intended to postpone the negotiations regarding the defender’s sale until the FIFA Club World Cup in the summer.Manchester City officials arrived in Brazil on Thursday to negotiate with Palmeiras for the centre-back, and the report indicates that they could alter their posture.

The Premier League champions’ steadfast determination to secure Reis’ services in the winter market is suggested by the absence of any information regarding their representatives. The two clubs are currently in the process of negotiating a transfer fee for the youth, which is expected to fall within the range of €30-40 million.

The latest information regarding Manchester City’s pursuit of Reis is provided in a recent report from UOL, which indicates that the total fee could exceed €45 million, including incentives. The Brazilian’s club is seeking to retain him until the FIFA Club World Cup, while Pep Guardiola’s team is eager to rely on him immediately.

UOL explains that Manchester City and Palmeiras are currently in the process of negotiating the “date of the player’s transfer” to the Etihad. In summary, it is uncertain whether Reis will join Manchester City in January or the summer.
