Despite Girona’s lowly position in the La Liga table, Vitor Reis has gained valuable first-team experience in Spain. So far this season, the young Brazilian centre-back has made 12 appearances for Girona. He has impressed with his defensive acumen, strength in a challenge, and he has shown that he has all of the necessary attributes to become a very good centre-back. Vitor Reis does look to be the future of the Manchester City defence.
A new report has emerged that states that Vitor Reis is set to be a part of Manchester City’s squad for the 26/27 season. His time in La Liga is setting him up well to succeed at Manchester City.
Vitor Reis has impressed in La Liga and is set for a bright future.
Palmeiras academy director, João Paulo Sampaio had high praise for the talent and potential of Vitor Reis. In an interview that was published on ESPN Brasil, João Paulo Sampaio shared his belief that Vitor Reis is the future of the Brazilian national team’s defence. He also explained that Vitor Reis has performed strongly in La Liga this seaon. João Paulo Sampaio explained: “He (Reis) will be Brazil’s centre-back for the next three or four World Cups. This kid is very different. Technically, physically, mentally, as a leader – he is one of the best in the Spanish league in terms of numbers.”

Manchester City seemingly has big plans for Vitor Reis.
Bruno Andrade has also reported for ESPN Brasil, that Manchester City has big plans for Vitor Reis. Andrade reports that the young Brazilian centre-back is set to be a part of Pep Guardiola’s squad from next season. Furthermore, Andrade reports that Vitor Reis is set to play a role at City irrespective of what the future holds for John Stones. The England internationals’ contract expires at the end of this season. John Stones’ future won’t dictate the future of Vitor Reis, who is already considered a member of the City squad for next season as per Bruno Andrade’s report.
Initially, I was sceptical that Vitor Reis had made the right move in joining Girona for this season. Girona has struggled this season, and the 25/26 season seems to be a struggle for the City Football Group club. Irrespective of Girona’s struggles, Vitor Reis has had the opportunity to play regular first-team football at a high level this season. Due to this, he is coming on in leaps and bounds as a player. His talent has stood out in La Liga this season. Vitor Reis has been one of, if not, the most impressive young centre-back in the league. His performances have shown exactly why Vitor Reis is so highly regarded at Manchester City.
Vitor Reis looks to have a bright future at Manchester City and for Brazil. His performances for Girona have caught the eye and he is maturing and growing as a player. When he returns to City he looks set for an important role at the club and Vitor Reis has the talent and temperament succeed as a centre-back at City.
