Man City's saviour?! Vitor Reis jets into Manchester ahead of transfer from Palmeiras as Pep Guardiola finally handed defensive reinforcements following latest Premier League collapse

<p>Manchester City's defensive woes have been hurting Pep Guardiola's tactical setup this season as the defending Premier League champions are currently sixth in the league standings with just 10 wins in 20 games as they have conceded 29 goals. The 2023 Champions League winners are set to sign Reis and Lens' Abdukodir Khusanov to shore up their defence. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Reis is now set to sign with Manchester City from Palmeiras for a reported transfer fee of €35 million (£29.5m/$36m) and the Brazilian defender was photographed by Brazilian outlet Nosso Palestra (<a href="https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1879670994916495446" target="_blank">h/t Fabrizio Romano</a>) on the plane travelling to Manchester to sign the dotted line and become a City player. </p><p></p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">🚨✈️ Vitor Reis travelling to Manchester from Brazil in order to become new Man City player, as planned.<br><br>€35m deal from Palmeiras, completed.<a href="https://twitter.com/onossopalestra?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@onossopalestra</a> 📸 <a href="https://t.co/yJAbzQcbey">pic.twitter.com/yJAbzQcbey</a></p>— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1879670994916495446?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 15, 2025</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After the deal is finalised, Reis will officially surpass Lucas Beraldo as the most expensive Brazilian defender in history. Paris Saint-Germain paid €20 million (£16.8m/$20.5m) to acquire Beraldo from Sao Paulo in 2024.  </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Brazilian is unlikely to be in Guardiola's squad for their Ipswich Town clash on Sunday, January 19 and the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain in midweek. However, he could possibly make the squad for the Chelsea clash. </p>
