Girona are surprisingly taking the limelight in the 2023-24 LaLiga season. After 13 rounds, Michel’s men lead the standings with 34 points, two more than Real Madrid and four ahead of Barcelona. Savio has played a crucial role in the team’s great start, taking part in every league game so far.
His four goals and as many assists reflect the Brazilian’s impact in Spain. At 19, he’s already drawing interest from other giants on the continent. According to Sport, his fantastic level has caught attention of Barcelona sporting director Deco. However, the idea from the group that owns his rights would be for Savio to join Manchester City in the future.

Sávio, the City Football Group gem
In the summer of 2022, Savio left Atletico Mineiro for Troyes in a €6.5 million move. The French side, owned by the City Football Group, loaned him to Dutch side PSV in the same transfer window. This year, he was loaned again, but this time to another club from the same group.

Now that he settled in perfectly in Spain, the connection with Manchester City is inevitable. The Premier League team is undoubtedly the most prominent representative of the City Group, so any player who shines in their portfolio of teams will always aspire to play for Pep Guardiola’s side.
The Citizens’ idea, however, would be to let the forward continue developing at Girona for some time. But eventually, they would like to have a more experienced Savio at the Etihad Stadium.
