In a significant development for Manchester City, the reigning champions of the English Premier League, 19-year-old Brazilian winger Savio Moreira de Oliveira is set to join the team after a standout season with Girona in La Liga.

This move marks a strategic acquisition by Manchester City, further bolstering their already formidable lineup.   

Originally a player for Atletico Mineiro, Savio was purchased by French club Troyes in 2022 for approximately 7 million euros. However, he was immediately loaned out, first to PSV and then to Girona. His performance at Girona has been particularly impressive, with Savio contributing seven goals and seven assists in 29 appearances this season. His efforts have helped Girona maintain a strong position in La Liga, currently holding the second spot on the leaderboard.   

The transfer of Savio to Manchester City is a testament to the strategic planning of the City Football Group (CFG), which owns both Manchester City and Troyes. This move is seen as a consolidation of talent within the CFG's network of clubs. Savio's addition to Manchester City is expected to add depth and versatility to their attack, as he is adept at playing on both wings and in a more central role.   

Despite not having made his debut in the senior Brazilian national team, Savio's talent and potential are undeniable. His performance in the current season has caught the attention of many, and his move to Manchester City is seen as a step towards realizing his full potential. Under the guidance of Pep Guardiola and amidst a squad of world-class players, Savio is expected to develop further, both technically and tactically.
