Last summer, young talent Savio joined La Liga side Girona on loan, and in just one season, he captivated everyone, helping the team secure a third-place finish in the league. His performances have made him an untouchable asset for Manchester City.
According to renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City is on the verge of signing Savio. They have prepared all the necessary paperwork, and once the Copa América concludes, they will finalize the deal with the player. It’s worth noting that although Savio currently plays for Girona, he is on loan from City Group’s Troyes, and Manchester City is also part of the same group.
Reports suggest that numerous clubs have approached Manchester City enquiring about Savio’s availability, but the club has promptly turned down these inquiries. Pep Guardiola believes Savio has the ability to contribute to the first team and is a player with immense potential.
Last season, Savio scored 9 goals and provided 10 assists for Girona, ranking second in the team’s scoring charts and topping the assist table. He was instrumental in Girona’s third-place finish and qualification for European competition.
