Barcelona is eyeing the transfer of Vitor Reis, a 20-year-old center-back who played for Palmeiras, for the next season. The young defender has been considered one of the most promising players in his position. He spent last season on loan at Girona, Spain, and despite the team's relegation, he had standout performances. Vitor Reis is seen as a key player for the next World Cup cycle. He was called up by Carlo Ancelotti for the Brazilian national team and was part of the preliminary list for the World Cup. Manchester City plans to reintegrate Vitor Reis into their squad after the loan period. The center-back was sold by Palmeiras to the English club for over R$ 230 million, becoming the most expensive player in his position in Brazil at the time. Barcelona's coach Hansi Flick and director Deco, both linked to the Catalan club, believe that the 20-year-old defender has the ideal profile to join the Barça team.
