Manchester City is set to sign Savio, a Brazilian player who has been impressing while on loan at Girona from ESTAC Troyes. The 19-year-old has scored seven goals and made seven assists in 27 appearances across all competitions. The high-flying La Liga outfit has caught the attention of City, and reports indicate that a deal has been agreed upon.
However, scrutiny is expected from the Premier League as both Girona and Savio’s parent club Troyes are owned by the City Football Group. This might mean that Savio is joining the City first team from July and will start pre-season training under Pep Guardiola.
Savio has made quite an impression and could bring a similar playing style to the likes of Jeremy Doku. He holds the record for the most dribbles completed in La Liga so far this season with 62. Additionally, he has been compared to Doku due to his renowned dribbling skills.
Despite the City Football Group’s ownership of Girona, Savio looks set to join City as an exciting young talent, lined up to go directly into the first-team squad. He is a direct player known for his dribbling abilities, much like Doku. It will be interesting to see how City decides to utilize him after observing him in pre-season training. Given his experience playing in La Liga and Eredivisie, there is a chance we’ll actually see him in a City shirt next season.
The prospective signing of Savio has generated a lot of buzz among rival fans, and the football world in general. City is seemingly bringing in a promising talent and there is a lot of anticipation surrounding how Savio’s career will unfold at the club. This could be a signing that sets a precedent for more exciting talent to join City in the future.
