A fresh revelation has emerged about Manchester City’s plans to sign one of their transfer targets by Tuesday.
With Euro 2024 set to draw to a close after the final between England and Spain on Sunday, Pep Guardiola’s men will focus all their attention towards bolstering their squad ahead of next season.
Manchester City’s pre-season tour begins in nine days where they will face Celtic at the Kenan Stadium in North Carolina.
Ideally, City, like any club would be hoping that their new signings can head to the United States of America to settle into the side during pre-season. Savio, 20, certainly could, with his move to Manchester City is set to be announced after the Copa America, according to Fabrizio Romano two weeks ago.

Gianluca Di Marzio provides Dani Olmo to Man City update
On Friday, it was reported that one player’s camp which the Sky Blues have spoken to is Dani Olmo.
Olmo’s focus will be on helping Spain beat England in the European Championship final and also becoming the outright top goalscorer — as he is currently tied on three goals with five other players.
The Spanish attacker recently revealed that those close to him are aware of what his desire is regarding his future.
It was claimed on Thursday that the RB Leipzig attacker’s €60 million (£51.1 million) release clause is set to expire on Friday next week — when it was initially scheduled to on Monday due to his involvement in Spain’s run to the final, as per Fabrizio Romano.
Journalist Gianluca di Marzio has revealed that Manchester City are “pushing to” sign Olmo by Tuesday.
Attacking full-backs will be key for Dani Olmo to succeed at Man City
If Manchester City do sign Olmo, the advantage they will have is being able to deploy him in various positions.
However, the position where the former Dinamo Zagreb forward seems the likeliest to play in at the Etihad Stadium is as a winger.
Considering Olmo’s displays at Euro 2024 have proven that he is at his best centrally, it would be ideal for him if an attacking full-back was tasked to hold the width if he started out wide.
Whether that is as a right-winger or a left-winger.
Tasking Olmo to play as a touchline winger would not get the best out of him.
