Manchester City has completed the signing of Savio, a rising star within the City Football Group, as confirmed by transfer insider Fabrizio Romano. The 19-year-old has impressed during his loan spell at La Liga team Girona, contributing 12 goals in total, with five goals and seven assists in 24 appearances. Girona currently sits in 2nd place in La Liga, just five points behind Real Madrid.

Given Savio’s remarkable progress with Girona, it is not surprising to see Manchester City taking ownership of his future. After months of monitoring and intensified discussions, it has been reported that all aspects of the negotiations for the teenage forward have been finalized.

Romano has indicated that Manchester City has completed all the necessary contracts for Savio’s transfer, with the deal now in the signing stage and all documents being reviewed and completed by both parties. Atlético Mineiro first announced the agreement with the City Football Group in June 2022 for the transfer of Savio to European football, with an initial fee of €6.5 million and an additional €6 million in variables.

Savio initially joined French club ESTAC Troyes before moving to the Netherlands on loan and then making the move to the Spanish top division. It is still unknown whether Manchester City will immediately integrate Savio into their first-team squad, but it is likely that he will be assessed during pre-season, with a decision made about his future shortly after.

The signing of Savio represents an exciting prospect for Manchester City and demonstrates their commitment to nurturing young talents within the City Football Group. His success at Girona has undoubtedly caught the attention of the Premier League champions, and fans will be eager to see how he continues to develop within the Manchester City setup.
