Manchester City made a big signing by bringing in Brazil international Savinho for a whopping $43.6 million. The 20-year-old forward, also known as Savio, comes to City from their sister club Troyes and has signed a five-year contract.
Savinho had a successful loan spell at Girona last season, where he helped the team secure a spot in the Champions League. His performance in the Spanish league was impressive, with 11 goals and 10 assists to his name. He was also part of Brazil’s squad for the Copa América and has represented his country seven times.
In a statement, Savinho expressed his excitement about joining Manchester City, calling them the best team in the world. City’s director of football, Txiki Begiristain, praised the young player, stating that he is sure to excite the City fans with his skills. Begiristain highlighted Savinho’s achievements at Girona and his status as a full Brazil international.
It’s worth noting that Troyes and Girona are both part of the City Football Group, along with other clubs like New York City. This network of clubs allows for player development and collaboration on a global scale.
Overall, Savinho’s arrival adds depth and talent to Manchester City’s squad as they aim to defend their Premier League title and make an impact in European competitions. Fans can look forward to seeing him in action and contributing to the team’s success on the field.
