FC Barcelona has set its sights on young Brazilian center-back Vitor Reis, who currently belongs to Manchester City. The club's sporting management has initiated contacts with the English team to explore the possibility of a loan with an option to buy. This strategy arises from the need to strengthen the defense, which has not met the expectations of coach Hansi Flick. Reis, only 20 years old, had a standout season on loan at Girona, which has sparked Barcelona's interest. According to reports, Deco, the club's head of signings, has already established initial dialogues with his counterpart at City, Hugo Viana. The relationship between the two is cordial, which could facilitate negotiations. However, the final decision on Reis's future will depend on Enzo Maresca, who is poised to be the next coach of Manchester City. Barça hopes this option will be viable to improve their squad for the upcoming season.
