Manchester City are reportedly considering making a move for Brazilian winger Savio Moreira de Oliveira, also known as Savinho. At just 19 years old, Savio has been turning heads with his impressive performances for Girona, where he is currently on loan from French Ligue 2 side Troyes. In 20 games across all competitions, he has been directly involved in 10 goals, scoring five and providing five assists.
The talented youngster’s potential has not gone unnoticed by some of Europe’s top clubs, with Manchester City now contemplating whether to intensify their interest in signing him. The City Group, which owns both Manchester City and Girona, potentially gives the Premier League champions a significant advantage in securing Savio’s signature, despite interest from other clubs.
A potential course of action being discussed within the City Group is for Manchester City to acquire Savio from Troyes and then loan him back to Girona for further development. This strategy could prove beneficial for the player’s growth, as well as provide Manchester City with a promising asset for the future.
Savio’s style of play as a pacy winger suits the tactics of City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, making him an intriguing prospect for the English club. Should the move materialize, Savio could have a bright future ahead of him under the guidance of Guardiola at Manchester City.
According to a tweet from renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City are currently weighing their options regarding a potential move for Savio. It has been reported that several Premier League and Bundesliga clubs have also expressed interest in the Brazilian winger, with offers of around €30m being considered. However, it is understood that Savio will remain at Girona until the end of the current season.
The prospect of bringing Savio back to the club next season is something that City are said to be discussing internally, indicating their seriousness in pursuing the talented youngster. Manchester City’s ability to harness young talent and provide a platform for their development could make them an attractive destination for Savio, as he looks to take the next steps in his career.
The upcoming months will likely prove crucial in determining Savio’s future, as Manchester City weigh up their options and potential suitors from other top European leagues continue to monitor the situation. The tug of war for his signature could intensify in the coming transfer windows, with Savio’s performances continuing to attract attention from all corners of the continent.
