Manchester City’s latest signing, Savinho, expressed his excitement at joining the club and described it as a dream come true for himself and a childhood friend who had hoped he would play for Manchester City one day. The Brazilian player signed a five-year contract, keeping him at the Etihad Stadium until 2029. Savinho’s representatives and stepfather were also impressed with Manchester City’s facilities and convinced him that it would be impossible to turn down the opportunity to join the Premier League champions.
