Girona have secured the services of Manchester City centre-back Vitor Reis. The 19-year-old Brazilian was spotted shortly after landing in Spain on Tuesday and was seen posing for a photo with a Girona fan ahead of his loan move.

Reis joined City in the January transfer window from Palmeiras, in a deal reported to be worth approximately €37m, and is viewed as a long-term investment by the English club. However, given the wealth of talent the Premier League side possess in central defence, a loan move has been considered the best option for Reis’ development.

Since making the switch from Brazil to Manchester, Reis has made just four appearances for City – starting three games, two of which came in the FA Cup against Leyton Orient and Plymouth Argyle, and one in the recent FIFA Club World Cup against Wydad AC – in addition to a substitute appearance on his Premier League debut against Leicester City.

Girona remain interested in several other players within City’s ranks, and the English club are looking to move on a number of squad members – either to aid their development or to free up space, with Pep Guardiola having stated his desire for a smaller squad. A decision on who will join Reis on loan at Girona is likely to take some time and will depend on other movements within the market.
