Man City have reached a £29.4million agreement with Palmeiras to sign centre back Vitor Reis. The Brazilian defender will link up with Pep Guardiola's side immediately rather than stay in Brazil for the Club World Cup. Palmeiras president Leila Pereira had confirmed City made an official bid last week which fell short of their valuation but talks continued.

The signing of the 19-year-old, who can also play right-back, comes as a boost to City as Kyle Walker pushes for his move to Milan. 'There was an official proposal from Manchester City but we are negotiating. I will not talk about the amount but it did not reach what Palmeiras wants,' said the Palmeiras president.

'But I'm not in a hurry. Vitor still has a long contract. We're talking and if we reach a value that's good for Palmeiras, for the athlete and for Manchester, OK. But for now, nothing has been decided.'. Man City haved on a £29.4m deal to sign 19-year-old Palmeiras centre back Vitor Reis.
Pep Guardiola's side are also expected to finalise the signing of Lens' Abdukodir Khusanov. City are also working to finalise a fee for Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush this week. Reis also had interest from a number of clubs in Europe, including Brighton who had a bid rejected at the start of the month.
