Palmeiras president Leila Pereira told Globo: “There was an official proposal from Manchester City, but we are negotiating.
"I will not talk about the amount. But it did not reach what Palmeiras wants.
“But I’m not in a hurry. Vitor still has a long contract.
"We’re talking and if we reach a value that’s good for Palmeiras, for the athlete and for Manchester, ok. But for now nothing has been decided.”

Arsenal exit talks
Jorginho's agent has reportedly held talks over a move away from Arsenal.

Jorginho's current contract with the Gunners expires at the end of the season.
Potential Chelsea departure
Carney Chukwuemeka could leave Chelsea on loan in the coming days, it's been claimed.
That's according to Fabrizio Romano, who wrote on X: "Understand Chelsea have opened doors to Carney Chukwuemeka’s exit this month on loan deal!

Real Madrid's Trent U-turn
Real Madrid have reportedly decided to pursue signing Trent Alexander-Arnold this month.
It was recently claimed the Spaniards will look to sign the England international in the summer when he becomes a free agent.
Los Blancos were said to have made the decision after having an initial offer for the defender knocked back.
But according to fresh reports, they'll make another approach for his services before the window closes.
Maresca talks potential Chelsea exit
Enzo Maresca has claimed he's in the dark over Renato Veiga's potential Stamford Bridge exit.
The Italian said: “I’m not aware that there is an agreement for Renato.
“Yesterday he was here with us working, today he’ll be here with us. At the moment he’s our player. We’ll see if something happens.
“The only thing I can say is that we bought him from Basel, he’s played different positions, played well, and this has allowed him to join the national team for the first time in his life.
“Even if he’s not playing in his position, he’s playing for his national team which means that in the position he is playing, he can do well.
“In this case, a young player who is 21 years, joined Chelsea and started to play in four or five different positions, that’s given him the chance to join his national team so we are very proud of that.”
Walker latest
Pep Guardiola has revealed there is "no news" on Kyle Walker's proposed move away from Manchester City.
He's also revealed he hasn't made a decision on including him in the squad for this week's trip to Brentford.
The Spaniard said: "We'll decide after training.
"I said what I said and I'm not going to add anything else. I don't have anything else and Brentford is on my mind.”
Fox hunt
Leicester City have snapped up fullback Woyo Coulibaly from Parma.
The 25-year-old Frenchman has reportedly completed his switch from Serie A for a bargain £3million.
According to Fabrizio Romano, "documents are completed" ahead of Coulibaly's imminent arrival to the Premier League.
Done deal - Aarons to Valencia
Bournemouth's Max Aarons has completed a loan move to Valencia for the remainder of the season.
The ex-Norwich star has made just 27 appearances for the Cherries since he joined the club in August 2023.
Valencia's new boss Carlos Corberan will be familiar with Aarons after managing both Huddersfield and West Brom in the Championship.
And there's a £7.5million purchase clause built into the deal should Aarons shine in La Liga.
Saudi snub
Kyle Walker rejected a mega-money Saudi offer because he still hopes to reach 100 caps for England, SunSport can exclusively reveal.
The Man City ace, 34, has been capped 93 times for the Three Lions.
And he feared a move to the lucrative Saudi League - where he was linked with a £400,000-a-week deal - would end his international chances.
Walker's future at Eastlands appears to be over, with the full back lining up a move to Italy.
Loic here
Aston Villa are reportedly eyeing a swoop for Loic Bade from Sevilla.
The centre-half, 24, has a £42million release clause, according to L'Equipe.
Bade recently earned his first full call-up to the French national team after winning Olympic gold over the summer with the under-23s.
Return of the Mac
James McAtee is a target for a host of Bundesliga clubs.
The Manchester City midfielder, 22, has twice impressed out on loan at Sheffield United.
Pep Guardiola has not given the Salford native consistent Premier League game time - and he could be on the move to Germany.
McAtee hit a hat-trick past Salford City in the FA Cup on Saturday.
Bayer Leverkusen, Mainz, Leipzig, Dortmund and Stuttgart have all enquired about the England under-21 international, according to Fabrizio Romano.
No go Como
Tyrell Malacia is reportedly free to leave Manchester United this January.
The 25-year-old midfielder has failed to break into the United first XI since signing from Feyenoord in 2022.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Red Devils could explore a loan-to-buy move for the Duchman.
But Serie A side Como are not engaged in talks.
Rash move
AC Milan are due to "make contact" over a move for Marcus Rashford, according to reports.
The England forward has expressed a desire for a new challenge away from Old Trafford.
Rashford didn't travel with the United squad for their FA Cup third-round tie with Arsenal yesterday.
Sky Italy are reporting contact will be made between the two clubs in the "the next few hours."
While Sky in Germany report there was a "personal meeting last week" between Rashford's representatives and Dortmund boss Sebastian Kehl.
Vil to win
Aston Villa have "agreed an £18million fee" with Dortmund for Donyell Malen.
The 25-year-old has made 20 appearances for Dortmund so far this season.
He's scored five goals in that spell and notched one assist.
The Telegraph report a fee has been agreed between the two clubs, with Malen set to make the move to the Midlands in a few days.
Main man
Bayern Munich are set to join the race for Kobbie Mainoo, SunSport can exclusively reveal.
The Man Utd star could be on his way out of Old Trafford if the club are unable to afford his wage demands, writes Emilia Hawkins.
Mainoo - whose current contract expires in 2027 - is hoping for a fresh deal worth £200,000-a-week.
But United are believed to be reluctant to go that high - which has led to reports Mainoo could leave the club either during this window or over the summer.
Chelsea are at the front of the queue for the midfielder, but SunSport has learned the London club will not be the only side chasing him.
Bayern are long-term admirers and plan to make a move if he becomes available.
Italian job
Atalanta want to sign Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin, SunSport has exclusively revealed.
The Serie A title hopefuls sent a representative to Merseyside to push for the move and attempt to sign him with a pre-contract arrangement, writes Alan Nixon.
Calvert-Lewin’s Goodison deal runs out at the end of this season.
So Atalanta could get him tied up for next term — but even sign him now if the Toffees play ball.
Newcastle have also been interested in a move for the 27-year-old, who has 2 goals in 19 appearances this season.
