The Etihad Stadium team has a promising target in the transfer market.

Manchester City have not made any notable moves at this stage of the transfer window. However, they are likely to add some new players when the EURO and Copa America period ends when they receive reports from the scouting team.

However, some speculation has revealed that they have a quality signature in the name of Savio. Earlier this year, it was reported that Manchester City had reached an agreement to recruit the Brazilian winger from Troyes this summer.

Savio made a strong impression when helping Girona create an earthquake in La Liga, by winning 3rd place overall, thereby securing a place in the Champions League next season.

He is one of the players who has contributed to the most goals for the Catalan team with 11 goals and 10 assists.

The 20-year-old – described by fans as a “creative winger” and “good finisher” – has been particularly impressive since the start of the year, scoring or assisting in key games against Atletico Madrid to help Girona claim all three points.

It seems that performance was enough to convince Pep Guardiola. According to SPORT, Man City were initially quite comfortable with Savio spending another season on loan at Girona, but now they want the Samba striker to move to the Etihad next season.

With rumours surrounding Jack Grealish’s future , coupled with the former Aston Villa player’s somewhat declining form, it’s no surprise that Pep wants to immediately bring Savio into the squad.

However, the playing style that the 20-year-old player possesses is somewhat similar to Jeremy Doku when he mainly performs sudden moves and opens up finishing space, but as mentioned, he is more accurate in decisive moves with the most specific evidence being that Savio has 9 goals in La Liga while Doku has only scored 3 goals in the English top flight.

With Girona also deploying a control-based style of play similar to Man City, Savio is expected to not face many difficulties in his first days at Etihad. Besides, moving to a more competitive environment and playing alongside high-class teammates will also help him improve himself significantly.

Even if Savio scores points in Pep’s eyes, he still has the chance to become the first choice in The Citizens’ all-star squad.
