Manchester City has introduced Savinho as their latest signing, with his arrival resulting in a change to his shirt name. The Brazilian international is the club’s first signing of the summer transfer window, with City paying £33.6 million to Troyes for his services. Savinho had an impressive loan spell at Girona, leading to his move to the Etihad Stadium and potentially being fully integrated into Pep Guardiola’s squad.
Savinho explained that he decided to change his shirt name to ‘Savinho’ based on how he was known in the Brazil national team and Girona. The 20-year-old is expected to play on the right side of an attacking trio, bringing flair and creativity to the team. His arrival adds more attacking talent to City’s already strong lineup, with discussions of him playing alongside other key players like Erling Haaland.
Savinho’s presence will increase competition in the squad, putting pressure on other players to secure a starting spot, including Academy graduate Oscar Bobb and Jack Grealish. Manchester City fans are eager to see him in action and are hopeful that he will bring luck and success to the team with his new name on the shirt.
