of manchester city When it comes to midfielder Pedro Vaite the extensive scouting operation appears to be going beyond simple monitoring.
Latest reports suggest that discussions are already taking place over where the Ecuadorian international will fit into the City football group setup.
The 24-year-old has quickly become one of the standout names linked to the group following recent scouting activity in Mexico.
As covered earlierRepresentatives from City Football Group traveled to the country earlier this month to watch matches and meet with local contacts. At the time, no one publicly attached specific names to the voyage. However, this has changed very rapidly.
as of now TUDN MexicoCity Football Group are still pushing to sign Pedro Vitae ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
And interestingly, the conversation already seems to be moving beyond whether they want him.
Discussion is already on the way
The latest claims suggest that internal talks are now taking place over where exactly Pedro Vitae will play within the City Football Group structure if the move goes ahead.
Verona, New York City FC, Troyes and Palermo have all been mentioned as possible landing spots. However, the report also leaves the door slightly open to the possibility of something bigger.
Manchester City themselves are not completely out of the picture.
This still seems like the least likely route, and it is important to emphasize that most of the reporting has focused on the wider CFG network rather than Pep Guardiola’s immediate plans. Still, the noteworthy thing is that this possibility is also being mentioned internally.
Usually, when these stories first come out, the discussion is simply about scouting or interest. It already seems a little further down the road.
Why does white matter to CFG?
Pedro Witte joined Pumas UNAM from Vancouver Whitecaps in July 2025 and quickly rose to Liga MX status.
The Ecuador international has become one of the Pumas’ most important creative players. He primarily plays as an attacking midfielder. However, he is comfortable moving into more central areas to dictate the game.
Technically fast, left-footed and agile in tight spaces, he fits the profile that groups regularly target in many leagues.
The reported valuation is currently around €14m (£12m), which would become a record sale for Pumas UNAM.
the sooner the better
According to reports, City Football Group wants to move ahead before the World Cup. This is because they expect Pedro Vitesse’s value to increase if Ecuador has a strong tournament and performs well.
This has become a familiar tactic for multi-club groups and elite sides alike. Their goal is to complete the deal before the global headlines push the price higher.
At this stage, there is still no confirmation of formal negotiations or a final decision as to which club will acquire him.
Still, the tone is changing toward this early stage of a deal.
