Tim Vickery tells Manchester City fans what to expect from Vitor Reis
Manchester City are closing in on the signing of Vitor Reis from Palmeiras as they look to bring in more top talents with a bright future.
TBR Football exclusively revealed that Manchester City opened talks to sign Reis 𝕴last week, and things are goingꦆ in the right direction.
Palmeiras have accepted that Vitor Reis will move to Manchester City this month with an agreement being found between the clubs, sources have told TBR Football’s chief correspondent Graeme Bailey.
Now, South American football expert Tim Vickery ha⭕s told Man City fans what the𒁃y can expect from Reis.
Vitor Reis likened to Marquinhos and Thiago Silva
Vickery, speaking on , spoke about the ne☂gotiations involving Man City and Palmeiras, 🤪which could see Reis become the most expensive centre-back to come out of Brazil.
Vickery also claimed that the 19-ye꧂ar-old is similar to – an🐷d is modelling his style of play on – the likes of Marquinhos and Thiago Silva.
“Palmeiras originally wanted to keep him for the Cl🍌ub World Cup but they are pragmatically run and the bid kept going up,” said Vickery.
“It seems to have reached €35million (£30million), which was their asking prജice.
“It lo🐓oks like it will go ahead in the coming days. It would make Vitor Reis the most expensive centre back to come out of Brazil.
“This is City pushing the reset but🎃🌸ton. What have they seen? They have seen three things that they really like about this player.
“You can see the influence of Marquinhos and Thiago Silva, that is the centre back he wants to be. Classy🏅 on the ball, head up and can play out the back.
“Versatile defensively, he can operate in a back t🎐hree or four. Happier on the right but has played on the left.
“The other thing is leadership qualities and those are the things City have ꦿidentified.”
However, Vickery did mention that Reis could do with bulking up as he “can be🔜 bullied”, and noted how he may not yet be ready to start for Man City.
“There is an interesting comparison with Murillo from Nottingham𒅌 Forest,” continued Vickery. “Reis is coming on 22 games and 🅠Murillo was on 25 from Corinthians.
“Murillo is that little bit older and he is also built. No phy𒀰sical problems.”
“Reis needs some fiꦿlling out and can be ⛦bullied. It’s hard to imagine him making an immediate impact.”
