Man City sign Reis in £29.6m deal from Palmeiras

Manchester City have completed the signing of teenage defender Vitor Reis in a £29.6m move from Brazilian club Palmeiras.

The 19-year-old has signed a four-and-a-half-year deal.

Reis, a right-footed central defender, has made 22 appearances for Palmeiras and has represented Brazil's Under-17s on nine occasions.

Palmeiras had hoped to keep Reis on loan for the remainder of the season but City have insisted that the Brazilian moves this month.

"This is a dream come true, since I was a young kid I've always dreamt with an opportunity just like this one and play for a club as big as City," said Reis.
