Manchester City has emerged as the frontrunner to sign Sávio from the City Football Group ahead of the 2024/25 season, as reported on Monday evening. The 19-year-old has been a key player for Girona in Spain’s top-flight, contributing to the team’s success and helping them challenge for the title against Real Madrid.

Arriving on loan from Troyes last summer, Sávio has made 27 appearances in all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing seven assists. His outstanding performances in Spain have attracted interest from Manchester City and other top European clubs, but it now appears that he is poised for a move to the Premier League.

According to reports by Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City has reached an agreement to sign Sávio, who has been excelling at Girona during his loan spell. Documents for the transfer are expected to be signed in the coming days, despite competition from clubs in Germany and other English sides.

There is also speculation that Sávio could return to Girona for the 2024/25 campaign after completing his transfer to Manchester City. This possibility is being explored to make the move viable, as reported by journalist Nil Sola.

Manchester City’s offer for the Brazilian winger amounts to €40 million, with several of Girona’s other standout players attracting interest after their impressive season in La Liga. Sávio’s move to the Premier League would represent a significant milestone for the player, who has expressed his ambition to join Manchester City since signing for the City Football Group.

The prospect of Sávio’s transfer to Manchester City has generated excitement among fans and has positioned the young talent for a potentially transformative career move to one of the most prominent clubs in European football.
