Manchester City have a massive squad, and while they need a stacked roster to challenge rivals including Liverpool and Arsenal for the Premier League next season, some of their players could be on their way out this summer.
There are several stars who are not happy with their game time and are open to leaving Etihad Stadium unless the situation changes.
One name possibly heading for the Etihad Stadium exit door, amid rumours of a La Liga loan offer, is Vitor Reis. The Brazilian defender only joined City in January but he could be loaned out to sister club Girona.
As per reports via Que Thi Jugues’ Nil Sola, Reis is close to joining the Catalans on loan, as the young defender is desperate to secure more action in the 2025/26 season.
The 19-year-old centre-back joined City from Palmeiras at the start of for €35m [$40.7m], but the majority of his early days in Manchester have been devoted to adapting to life in England.
Despite not featuring much in the final weeks of last season, Reis has impressed behind the scenes, and that has triggered City's eagerness to get him playing again.

Over the years, the Citizens have utilised Girona as a strategic partner, sending many young stars there to facilitate their development in La Liga.
What could Vitor Reis offer Girona?
Before sealing his move to City, Arsenal and Real Madrid were both interested in signing him, but the Guardiola factor proved crucial in his final decision.
The Brazilian teenager is known for his composure on the ball, game awareness, passing ability and overall defensive prowess.
A loan to Girona would be beneficial for all parties involved, as it will allow Reis to play in a top-quality league, which will accelerate his growth.
The 19-year-old also fits Michel's fluid passing system at Girona as they aim to push for the European qualification places for the upcoming season.
