Now, the young talent will continue his development on loan until the end of the season at Girona, a club that is part of the City Football Group. According to some reports, the club from the Etihad has retained the option to recall the Brazilian earlier if Pep Guardiola finds himself in a situation without enough available centre-backs during the season. Reis has a contract with Manchester City until 2029.
The Citizens have already loaned out Jamai Simpson-Pusey and Max Alleyne to Celtic and Watford, respectively. Claudio Echeverri and Sverre Nypan are also expected to be loaned to other clubs. The Citizens are in talks with Everton over a potential loan move for Jack Grealish.
