Man City Make Brazil Winger Savinho First Summer Signing

Savinho joins from French side Troyes for £30m and has signed a five-year contract at the Etihad Stadium.

The 20-year-old spent last season on loan at Girona, where he scored nine goals and provided 10 assists in 37 La Liga appearances to help them qualify for the Champions League.

Savinho has won seven caps for the Brazil national team and scored his first international goal against Paraguay in the group stages of the 2024 Copa America.

"I'm so happy to be joining Manchester City, the Premier League champions and Club World Cup winners," he told the club's official website. 

"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."

City director of football Txiki Begiristain added: "He has a big role to play for Manchester City this season and beyond.

"We are totally confident in his ability. He is still young and has the potential to become even better, and everyone knows that Pep is the best at helping players develop even further.

"But he has already shown his huge quality and technical ability and is an exciting addition to our attacking area."
