Man City announce signing of Brazilian wing-wizard Savinho

 

Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Brazilian winger Savinho from French side Troyes. 

 

Savinho spent last season on loan with Girona, where he played a key role in securing the Spanish side a top-four finish. 

 

 

"Manchester City are delighted to announce the signing of Brazilian winger Savinho from Troyes on a five-year deal until 2029," a statement read on the club's official website. 

 

"The 20-year-old is our first signing of the summer ahead of the 2024/25 season as we look to win an unprecedent fifth Premier League title. 

 

"Savinho had an outstanding campaign on loan at Girona last season as he helped the Spanish side qualify for the Champions League for the first time in their history. 

 

"He scored 11 goals and contributed 10 assists as the Catalonia club finished third behind Real Madrid and Barcelona." 

 

 

On his move to City, the Brazil international said: "I’m so happy to be joining Manchester City, the Premier League champions and Club World Cup winners. 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." 

 

Savinho completed more dribbles (104) than any other player in La Liga last season.
