Real Madrid Gives the Green Light: Guardiola Closes Brazilian Leny Yoro's Transfer

This transfer market is increasingly having more interesting operations. While Real Madrid doesn't plan to make any transfers, the club has given the green light to one operation. Manchester City, which is in search of a central defender, is preparing an offer to get the services of a Brazilian talent.

Vitor Reis, who had been a target for Real Madrid, is close to arriving in England. The team led by Josep Guardiola has presented a deal that is getting closer to being finalized. Having convinced the player and his agent, his much-anticipated transfer is just a matter of time.

Although the player was sought after by Real Madrid, the club has had no issues allowing this operation. His value and the other objectives the club has in mind were factors that ultimately sealed the deal for Vitor Reis.

A promise for the defense

Trained in Palmeiras's youth academy, Vitor Reis has established himself as a promising central defender. Despite being only 18 years old, the 3,077 minutes he has played demonstrate the importance he has quickly gained in the club. Given his great talent and potential, the player was sought after by several major clubs across Europe.

Finally, Manchester City is the club closest to transfer the center-back to strengthen its team. Through a deal worth around 40 million euros, the English have made an offer far above those made by other teams.

This value was one of the reasons why Real Madrid ultimately gave the green light to his transfer by Manchester City. The merengue team, despite its strong interest, is not willing to make this expenditure for such a young center-back. Especially for one who doesn't yet have experience in European soccer at the moment.

The next central defenders

Allowing the transfer of Vitor Reis, Real Madrid's focus is now on the other center-backs whose talent has caught attention. With the entire season ahead, the club has time to search for and find its next center-backs.
