Savio will join Manchester City as a priority if he continues to shine on loan at Girona.
That is according to Mundo Deportivo.
So, what is the situation involving Savio and Manchester City? Let’s take a look…
What’s the story?
Well, the Brazilian is currently on loan at Girona from Troyes – both of whom come under the City Football Group umbrella.
Savio is shining in Spain, scoring four goals – while also providing four assists – across 13 appearances in La Liga as Girona sit top of the table, remarkably ahead of both Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Mundo Deportivo believe Barcelona have sat up and taken notice of the 19-year-old’s excellent performances, although the Spanish news outlet highlight a number of reasons as to why a move to the Camp Nou is unlikely.
It is said that the City Football Group do not want to let the forward – who is aspiring to play for Manchester City – leave the organisation, and will therefore slap a huge asking price on his head.
However – above all – it is said that Savio will be sent to Manchester City, the City Football Group’s flagship club, if he continues to deliver outstanding performances.
Savio shows how Manchester City can benefit from the City Football Group
Some Manchester City fans may wonder how the Citizens benefit from the City Football Group in comparison to the likes of Girona, who have risen to the top of La Liga since becoming part of the setup.
Simply put, when you are the crème de la crème of such a group, the benefits tend to trickle down to others far more often than they tend to rise upwards, as there is already so much that is strong about Manchester City.
In this instance – however – it shows the ways in which Pep Guardiola can benefit from Manchester City being involved in the City Football Group, as a hugely talented South American in Savio could soon be added to the squad for peanuts.
Be sure to keep an eye on the Brazil Under-20 international’s progress, as he could be shining at the Etihad Stadium one day if he keeps delivering for Girona.
