Barcelona renews interest in Manchester City defender Vitor Reis

Barcelona is looking to strengthen its squad for the 2026/27 season by reigniting its interest in Vitor Reis, a Brazilian defender currently with Manchester City. Reis, who spent the past season on loan at Girona, was previously linked to Barcelona before joining City from Palmeiras in 2025. The club's sporting department, led by Deco, sees Reis fitting well into Hansi Flick’s system due to his composure and technical skills. Barcelona is exploring a loan deal with an option to buy while assessing City’s willingness to negotiate. They prefer not to send Reis back to Girona, which will compete in the second division next season.
