Vitor Reis returns to Manchester City following a season-long loan at sister club Girona in La Liga. The 20-year-old Brazilian impressed as a standout performer, despite Girona's relegation on the final day. Manchester City, who conceded the second-fewest goals in the Premier League last season, will benefit from his defensive boost.

The club awaits Enzo Maresca's arrival as Pep Guardiola's successor, with Maresca inheriting a strong squad requiring minor adjustments. Reis is expected to join City's pre-season tour to Hong Kong. While reports linked him to Barcelona, sources dismiss this as speculation, indicating he remains a Manchester City option. Experts, including Girona commentator Miquel Agut Riera, believe Reis is ready for the Premier League, highlighting his strong performances against Real Madrid and Barcelona. He is considered a promising "star in the making."
