On Thursday night (26), the CBF announced the call-up of center-back Vitor Reis by coach Carlo Ancelotti.
The 20-year-old defender joins the Brazilian National Team for the friendly against Croatia next Tuesday (31) in Orlando.
Vitor Reis came through at Palmeiras, made his senior debut in 2024, and was sold to Manchester City in January 2025.

The youngster, however, failed to establish himself in Pep Guardiola’s team and was loaned to Girona — a Spanish club that is part of the group that controls the Citizens and other teams around the world, such as Bahia.
