Man City announced the signing of Savio who was “enjoyed” working with Guardiola
Man City has announced the signing of Savio from Troyes and the player who has won is the first player to be signed by the Premier League champions in the summer transfer window.
The Brazilian is moving to the Etihad Stadium as part of a £21m deal, which could rise to £33.6m if certain add-ons are met, reports Fabrizio Romano.
Savio has signed a five-year contract with City until 2029 and the 20-year-old is one star the Manchester club are putting the future of the club in their hands.
The midfielder is coming off the back of an impressive campaign in Spain with Girona, where he made 41 appearances, scoring 11 goals and providing 10 assists as the Catalan club qualified for the Champions League for the first time in their history.
There is plenty of competition on the wings at Man City and the 20-year-old is expected to be a backup throughout his first campaign. Jeremy Doku, Jack Grealish, Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden will all be ahead of the Brazilian, but it will be up to him to impress Pep Guardiola.
Savio is “excited” to work with Pep Guardiola at Man City
After completing his move to Man City, Savio admitted he was happy to work with Man City manager Pep Guardiola, calling the Spanish coach “one of the greatest coaches of all time”.
“I am very happy to join Manchester City, who are the Premier League champions and have won the Club World Cup. Everyone knows they are the best team in the world right now, so being here makes me very happy,” the Brazilian told Man City’s press team.
“I am happy with the opportunity to work under Pep Guardiola, who is one of the greatest coaches of all time, and I know he will help me improve a lot.
“I’ve had an amazing time in Spain and I’m looking forward to the new challenge of playing in the Premier League with the best players in the world.
“I can’t wait to meet the fans and my new teammates and hopefully be part of bringing more success to City.”
