HERE WE GO! Manchester City complete £21 MILLION Savinho transfer as their first summer arrival with the 20y/o Brazilian signing a five-year contract at reigning Premier League champions

Following his £21 million signing on Thursday night, Brazilian sensation Savinho promised to unravel the mystery surrounding Manchester City’s right wing. 

The attacker, who was called up to Brazil’s Copa America team due to his outstanding performance in Girona’s surprise La Liga title run, joined the Premier League champions from sister club Troyes in a transfer that could potentially cost £32 million. Image

Midway through the previous season, City identified the 20-year-old as a target and began monitoring his progress in anticipation of sending him on their US trip to wow Pep Guardiola. 

 However, Savinho’s later Girona performances demonstrated that he may be a part of Guardiola’s team this season. After the Copa America, he is currently on vacation and should be back with the team the following month.

The transfer market for City has been quiet this summer, and any new arrivals may be contingent upon veteran players departing the Etihad Stadium.

Being joyful and encouraging fans to stand up from their seats is my primary quality and what I enjoy doing the most.

With 11 goals and 10 assists, the attacking pro had an incredible season in Spain with City’s sister club Girona, helping them earn a Champions League spot for the first time. Image

Next season, Savinho will don the No. 26 shirt for City, which was once owned by former champion Riyad Mahrez but has remained empty since his move to Saudi Arabia.

The Brazilian chose the number because Mahrez was one of his favorite players as a child, winning five Premier League titles, one Champions League, and other significant awards at that time.
