According to sources, 19 -year -old center -back Vitor Reis took the initiative to approach Man City leadership to request to be lent in the form of loan this summer.
Vitor Reis's goal is to play more often to promote the development process and increase the opportunity to be summoned to the Brazilian national team.
Earlier this year, Man City spent about 29.6 million pounds to recruit Reis from Palmeiras Club, as a way of putting faith in the great potential he showed in his home country. Although Green Man still considers Reis as a future pillar in the defense, but the reality of the young player plays the main player in the squad of Pep Guardiola coach is almost none.
With experienced names such as Ruben Dias, John Stones, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake or Josko Gvardiol are competitive for the main kick, Reis squeezes the weekly playlist is extremely difficult.
According to the Brazilian journalist, Andrre Hernan, Reis not only filed an official application to leave on the form of loan, but also receiving attention from many big clubs in Europe.
Specifically, Porto (Portugal) and Leverkusen (Germany) are said to have sent a proposal to recruit this young center -back. Both teams have an advantage when they can ensure a stable number of minutes, as well as the opportunity to rub in the European arena – the factors that are considered very important in Reis's decision.
Besides, Girona – a club owned by City Football Group – also offered to borrow Reis. Notably, they also want to perform a double deal, when they offered to borrow young midfielder Claudio Echeverri.
The Man City side emphasized that any loan movement must be in line with the club's internal development plan, while ensuring Reis will be played regularly in a highly competitive environment, as well as in a tactical system as close to the football philosophy of coach Guardiola.
The loan of Reis is to serve the long -term benefits, but it also reflects the fierce situation of the Man City squad, where young talents, despite being expected, is still difficult to find a foothold without a reasonable development roadmap.
