Part 2/8:

The negotiations heated up notably later in the afternoon prior to the deal's confirmation. Reports noted a sense of urgency from Manchester City, which was eager to finalize the agreement swiftly. Palmeiras had been cautious, highlighting that they weren’t under pressure to sell Reis but couldn't ignore the appealing offer. The dealings were underscored by the understanding that should City manage to sell Reis for a significant profit in the future, Palmeiras could receive an additional €5 million based on performance bonuses.
