Man City set to return for improved offer for Brazilian wonderkid after opening bid rejected
Manchester City territory have presumably sent an lug out for climbing up Flamengo celeb Joao Victor as they bolster to commendable visual impresses to future-proof their group.
After John Rocks, 32, abandoned Male City territory as a emission representative earlier this summertime season, and also by means of Ruben Dias pivoting 29 this year, the Etihad outfit shows up to be repeatedly sifting at young talent.
They are currently well encouraged as shortly as it comes to young centre-backs; however, by means of the filter of Abdukodir Khusanov, 22, Maximum Alleyne, 20, Vitor Reis, 20, Juma Bah, 20, Josko Gvardiol, 24, and also Marc Guehi, 26, on their tales.
Not with one voice of these will render the grade in Male City territory’s first group and also despite their wide range of institutions, the club’s transfer figureheads have seemingly set their sights on 19-year-ratty Victor.
According to Globo, Male City territory proposal around £8.5m for the Brazil Under-20 international’s treatments, by means of the impulse of then finance him out to one of City territory Group’s satellite bars.
The report includes that City territory Group hopes to send out him to one of their European groups, such as Girona, Lommel, Troyes, or Palermo.
Yet, those hopes have been dealt a effect as the Brazilian bulletin stipulates that Flamengo declined Male City territory’s lug out, although it is intended the Premier League group will rejoinder by means of a brand name-new-made proposal.
It seems they are not the only one astounded in the young adult’s treatments as Ajax presumably proposal £6.8m for Victor at the end of 2025 however that proposal was moreover rebuffed.
Globo say that the Dutch colossuses yearned to indicator him at a time as shortly as Victor ‘was assessed for negative functionalities’ as shortly as imparted a handful of first-group opportunities.
It seems he has rediscovered his feet since then, though, after gliding 14 visual impresses in with one voice competitions for the Brazilian colossuses.
The 6ft 2in centre-earlier, who honed as a defensive midfielder in yesteryear throwing away earlier into defence, is watched as one of Flamengo’s brightest academy graduates correct presently.
The spheric-playing defender has currently well-informed a nice bargain of productivity in his young career, by means of Victor being sector of the Flamengo group that won the Copa Libertadores, the Campeonato Brasiliero Serie A, and also the Campeonato Carioca with one voice in 2025.
For Flamengo’s Under-20 side, he raised the Intercontinental Cup in 2024 and also 2025 and also the Under-20 Copa Libertadores 2 years ago.
His present commitment runs till the end of 2029, so whether Enzo Maresca’s side – which is presently in a brand name-new-made sunrise after Pep Guardiola’s separation – can prise him away from his abode municipality group remains to be watched.
