Spending on defenders reaches £63.4m in two daysReis has played for Brazil’s under-16s and under-17s
Manchester City have continued their rebuild by signing the defender Vitor Reis from Palmeiras for £29.6m. The 19-year-old is the second centre-half bought by the club in two days, after Abdukodir Khusanov, and takes their spending to £63.4m, with about another £50m poised to be spent on the forward Omar Marmoush.
The deal for Reis, who has played for Brazil’s under-16s and under-17s and can also operate as a full-back, does not include add-ons. He has come through the academy at Palmeiras and made 22 first-team appearances.
