The negotiations between Manchester City and Palmeiras for the transfer of Gabriel Jesus may include another player.
According to the information from ESPN Brasil, Manchester City intends to offer €32 million to sign Gabriel Jesus, but they also want to acquire a purchase preference on 16-year-old defender Vitão. The official representative of Manchester City in Latin America has met Palmeiras’ director of football Alexandre Mattos to handle the case. The desire is to count on the kid in the future, allowing time for the family to have legal conditions to move to Europe.
Vitor Eduardo, also known as Vitão, is just 16 and has emerged as one of the most promising talents from the club’s youth system. A starter for Palmeiras’ U17 side, Vitão caught the attention of Manchester City scouts during the Taça Belo Horizonte de Futebol Júnior. A purchase priority in young players is nothing new when European teams negotiate with Brazilians. When Barcelona reached a deal to sign Neymar from Santos, the Catalans also acquired a first-option on Gabigol, Victor Andrade and Giva.
