Manchester City appear to be regaining their momentum this season after a shaky start. Despite being the defending Premier League champions, they currently sit sixth in the table with only 10 wins from 20 matches. Determined to turn their fortunes around, the eight-time Premier League winners are actively seeking reinforcements during the January transfer window, with three key players on their radar.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Palmeiras’ rising star Vitor Reis has been identified as a priority target. Negotiations are already underway with the player and his representatives, with City reportedly preparing a €40 million (£33.5m/$41.1m) bid. This comes after Palmeiras rejected lower offers from other clubs.

Additionally, Pep Guardiola’s side has expressed strong interest in Eintracht Frankfurt’s in-form forward Omar Marmoush and Lens centre-back Abdukodir Khusanov. Talks regarding both players are reported to be in advanced stages.

Guardiola is eager to secure these signings promptly as City prepares for crucial Champions League fixtures and aims to improve their league standing, with a top-eight finish currently out of reach.
