At only 19 years old, Savinho is performing excellently with Girona, where he is on loan from Troyes. Author of 5 goals and 7 assists, the Brazilian winger is shining in La Liga. So much so that many European big names are already interested in him. According to the English newspaper The Sun, Manchester City are reportedly following the player with a view to recruiting him for around 10 million pounds this summer.

An assumed preference for Manchester City

Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are also in the running according to the Spanish press. However, Savinho already seems to have made his choice. In an interview, he clearly showed his preference for the Cityzens: “My goal has always been to get to Manchester City. I want to continue working in Girona to earn a transfer there.” The Brazilian admires the style advocated by Pep Guardiola and his ability to nurture South American talents like Gabriel Jesus.

With his lightning acceleration, his technique with the ball and his maturity in finishing, Savinho ticks all the boxes to establish himself in one of the biggest European clubs. His remarkable performances with Girona are enough to appeal to any coach. It remains to be seen whether Manchester City will quickly take action this summer as the player wishes. Because the competition promises to be tough with the interest of Real and Barça.
