Congratulations to Manchester City! The Premier League giants have made their first signing this summer, and the Brazilian star has confirmed to join
The white horse passed through the gap, suddenly. In the blink of an eye, 2024 has entered its second month, and for the majority of football lovers, January is certainly exciting, but February will be even more exciting, with European club competitions gradually heating up, and the African Cup of Nations and Asian Cup of Nations are about to reveal the winners
Of course, the highlight of the year will be this summer, with the European Cup and the Copa America in addition to the summer window. Although the Copa America cannot be compared with the European Cup in terms of gold content and influence, this year's Copa America will have a total of 16 teams from South and North America to participate, which is also a relatively grand one. However, the final champions are still Brazil and Argentina, the two old powerhouses, are the biggest favorites, and the Brazilian team without Neymar may be looked down upon
As the current star and leader of the Brazilian national team, Neymar left Europe last summer to switch to Saudi Arabian side Riyadh Crescent, but a serious injury caused the season to be reimbursed, and even affected the Copa America, which made Brazil have to change and find a new leader. Fortunately, today's Brazilian team can be described as full of talent, and the reserve force is constantly emerging, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Martinelli and others have long been household names, while Roque, Endrick, Savio and others have great potential
Roque has joined Barcelona, Endrick has confirmed his switch to Real Madrid, and soon, Savio will also land at the giants. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Brazilian teenager Savio, who is currently on loan to Girona in La Liga by Ligue 1 club Troyes, is about to move to Manchester City this summer, and the transfer documents will be signed in the near future. The Brazilian is set to join Manchester City despite offers from German and English clubs, and the deal will also be City's first signing this summer. Of course, the important reason why Manchester City can get Savio smoothly is that whether it is Manchester City, Troyes or Girona, they all belong to the club of the City Group, so this transfer seems to be extremely smooth
Born in 2004, the 19-year-old started his career in the youth system of Brazilian powerhouse Atletico Mineiro. In the 2021 season, Savio officially entered the first team of Atletico Mineiro, and won the Brazilian Liga championship and the Copa do Brasil with the team that season. In the summer of '22, Troyes signed Savio for €6.5 million and loaned him to Eredivisie giants PSV Eindhoven. After not getting much of a chance at PSV Eindhoven, Savio joined Girona on loan this season, and it was here that Savio managed to develop into a dazzling top star
This season, Girona has risen to prominence, and its outstanding performance has surprised countless people, and it is currently second in La Liga after 23 rounds, only 2 points behind Real Madrid, and has the potential to impact the championship. As the main striker of the team, Savio has made 27 appearances so far, 24 of which have been starts, and he has handed over a good statistical list of 7 goals and 7 assists, and his value has risen to 30 million euros. As an attacker, Savio has excellent explosiveness and dribbling skills, although there are problems in handling the ball, but after all, he is still young, and I believe that in the future, whether it is Manchester City or the Brazilian national team, Savio can get a huge improvement in the higher level of competition
