‘Oh yes’, ‘Let’s goooo’, ‘Haaland next!’ – Man City fans react as CFG complete the signing of Another Brazilian talent

The parent company behind Manchester City – the City Football Group (CFG) have complete the signing of the latest exciting talent to emerge from Brazil.

The Atletico Mineiro youngster is regarded as one of the most promising young players to come out of Brazil lately and could be on the verge of a move to the Premier League in the coming season.

The 17-year-old winger – also known as Savinho – has been strongly linked with a switch to the Etihad Stadium in recent weeks.

City had made an official bid for the youngster earlier this month, and it appears they have now reached an agreement with Atletico Mineiro.

According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City and Atlético Mineiro have signed all paperworks today for Savio Moreira ‘Savinho’, with official announcement to be made soon.

As widely understood in various quarters, the deal involving Savinho and his move to the City Football Group will be worth an estimated €6.5 million, but could rise to as high as €12.5 million when taking into account an extra €6 million in potential bonuses.

While it is not expected that Savinho will turn out for Man City’s first-team set-up anytime soon, it has been previously understood that the youngster would sign for French side ESTAC Troyes on loan – a club owned by the City Football Group.

The report was shared on Twitter and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
