Savio joins Manchester City

ESPN reported that City paid an initial transfer fee of €25 million, plus a potential €15m in add-ons.

Savio, 20, joins City from French side Troyes after a stellar campaign on loan at LaLiga’s Girona.

Both Troyes and Girona are part of the City Football Group (CFG), administered by Manchester City.

“I’m so happy to be joining Manchester City, the Premier League champions and Club World Cup winners,” Savio said in a statement.

“Everyone knows they are the best team in the world right now, so to be here is very exciting for me. 

“I’m excited about the chance to work under Pep Guardiola, one of the greatest coaches ever, and someone I know will help me improve even more.”

“I had an amazing time in Spain and I’m looking forward to a new challenge of playing in the Premier League and alongside some of the best players in the world.”

“I can’t wait to meet the fans and my new team-mates and hopefully be a part of bringing more success to City.” 

Young rising star

Savio scored 11 goals and 10 assists in 41 games last place for Girona, who finished third behind Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Most importantly, the young striker helped the Spanish club earn qualification for the Champions League for the first time in the club’s history.

He played for Brazil in this year’s Copa América, scoring one goal in each of the four games he played before their campaign ended by Uruguay in the quarterfinals.
