Last season, Savinho made quite an impression while playing for Girona in La Liga. His talent caught the attention of Manchester City, who have now officially signed him from Troyes for a hefty £30.8m fee. The 20-year-old has committed to a five-year contract until 2029.
Before joining Manchester City, Savinho had been with Troyes since 2022. However, he was never able to make an appearance for the club as he was sent out on loan to PSV and then to Girona. It was at Girona where he truly shined, scoring a total of 11 goals in all competitions and helping the team secure a spot in the Champions League by finishing third in La Liga.
Interestingly, both Troyes and Girona are owned by City Football Group, the company controlled by the owners of Manchester City. This made the transfer a smooth process. Speaking about his move to the Premier League champions, Savinho expressed his excitement, saying, "I'm so thrilled to be joining Manchester City, the reigning Premier League champions and Club World Cup winners. It's common knowledge that they are the best team in the world right now, so to have the opportunity to play here is incredibly exciting for me."
The young Brazilian is also looking forward to working under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, one of the greatest coaches in the history of football. He believes that this experience will help him develop and reach his full potential. "I had an amazing time in Spain and now I'm ready for a new challenge of playing in the Premier League alongside some of the best players in the world," he added.
Just last month, Savinho scored his first goal for Brazil, which further solidified his impressive track record. Txiki Begiristain, Manchester City's director of football, also had high praises for the promising player. "Savinho is an incredibly talented player and I have no doubt that the City fans will thoroughly enjoy watching him play. His achievements with Girona last season were remarkable, and he is already a full international for Brazil. We have full confidence in his abilities and believe that he will play a significant role for Manchester City this season and beyond."
Begiristain also highlighted Savinho's potential for growth, stating, "He is still young and has the potential to become even better. And with Pep's guidance, we are certain that he will continue to flourish. He has already showcased his exceptional skills and technical ability, making him a valuable addition to our attacking department." It's clear that Manchester City has high hopes for Savinho, and they believe that he will make a significant impact on the team.
