Manchester City is gonna sign Brazilian wonderkid Vitor Rois from Palmeiras. The 18-year-old center-back already said yes to personal terms with the Premier League champs, and they’re looking at around €40 million for the transfer fee. City really wants to add young defenders to their team and this shows it.
- Manchester City got Vitor Rois to agree on a long contract.
- They think it’ll cost about €40 million plus maybe some extra stuff.
- They’re almost done talking with Palmeiras to get everything sorted.
Manchester City’s Strategic Acquisition
City needs more defenders real bad especially since Rúben Dias, John Stones and Nathan Aké keep getting hurt. Vitor Rois who’s been amazing in the Brasileirão looks like just what they need. The team’s also checking out this other defender Abdukodir Khusanov from RC Lens to make their defense even better.
Vitor Rois is already pretty famous he plays for Brazil’s under-17s and lots of big European teams want him. City thinks getting him now would be smart for when they need good players in the future.
Negotiations continue today between Man City and Palmeiras for Vitor Reis deal.
