Manchester City has made a significant move by signing Savio on a five-year contract. Savio, a 20-year-old Brazilian player, has been a part of the City Football Group since 2022. Although he didn’t play for Troyes and spent the previous season on loan at Girona, he has still caught the attention of City’s management.
This promising young talent will be the first signing of the summer transfer window for Manchester City. The club has big plans for Savio, intending to integrate him into the first-team squad under the guidance of head coach Pep Guardiola in the upcoming season.
Savio’s journey to Manchester City has been an interesting one. He spent four years at Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro before joining CFG in 2022. Initially assigned to French club Troyes, he didn’t get a chance to showcase his skills there due to the team’s relegations. However, his loan spells at PSV Eindhoven and Girona have been fruitful.
During his time at Girona, Savio impressed with nine league goals and 10 assists, helping the Catalan club secure a third-place finish in La Liga and their first-ever qualification for the Champions League next season. This stellar performance also earned him a call-up to the Brazil national team, where he has already made five appearances and scored a goal.
Manchester City’s decision to secure Savio’s services for the long term reflects their confidence in his abilities and potential. With his skillset and achievements at such a young age, Savio is poised to make a significant impact at the Etihad Stadium and beyond.
As City fans eagerly await Savio’s debut in the Premier League, there is a sense of excitement and anticipation surrounding the young Brazilian’s future. His signing marks the beginning of what could be a successful chapter in his career and a valuable addition to Manchester City’s squad for the upcoming seasons.
