It’s been an open secret for months and it’s now official: Savinho is a new Manchester City player. The 20-year-old Brazilian winger will be part of Pep Guardiola’s team and will sign a five-year contract, until June 30, 2029. The experienced footballer will wear the number 26 and will be unveiled on August 4.
Savinho played last season for Girona on loan from French side Troyes and was one of the great sensations of the LaLiga revelation team. The transfer price is 25 million euros and another 12 for goals. His contribution, with 9 goals in 37 games in domestic competition, was key for Míchel’s team to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in their history.
The Brazilian international, who played in the Copa América, became the first reinforcement of the current Premier League champions. “I am very happy to join Manchester City, Premier League champions and Club World Cup winners. “Everyone knows they are the best team in the world at the moment, so being here is very exciting for me,” he said in statements on City’s website.
“I’m excited for the opportunity to work with Pep Guardiola. He’s one of the best coaches of all time. I know it will help me improve,” added Savinho.
Txiki Begiristain, citizen sports director, celebrates the arrival of the former Girona player. “We have full confidence in his ability. He is still young and has the potential to improve. “Everyone knows Pep is the best when it comes to helping players improve,” commented the executive.
“Savinho has already shown his immense quality and technical ability. This is a great addition. He will play an important role this season and the ones to come,” said Begiristain.
