BREAKING NEWS: “I did everything possible to persuade him to join PSG, but he has already made his decision— you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink,” said former PSG player Neymar Jr, confirming that his £80 million compatriot has opted to join Manchester City instead of PSG.

Manchester City appears ready to make their first summer acquisition, as evidenced by recent sightings of a potential new player in the city. Often, new signings either go viral on social media or are shared by local residents before the official announcement. These players typically explore their new surroundings before joining the team.

With Pep Guardiola’s squad heading to the US for their pre-season trip, it would be ideal to integrate a new player into training and matches immediately.

On Friday, June 28, 2024, during the Group D Copa America game between Brazil and Paraguay, 20-year-old Brazilian forward Sávio was seen advancing the ball upfield.

Girona manager Michel, under whom Sávio played on a one-season loan from ESTAC Troyes last season, has praised him as a “great player” and one of the most talented young wingers worldwide.

A private client of Manchester City posted a picture on Instagram of the prodigy shopping at Harvey Nichols’ premium boutique, suggesting that Sávio might be preparing to finalize his move to the club soon.

Sávio’s presence in Manchester seems linked to his impending transfer to Manchester City. His involvement with Brazil at the Copa America may have delayed his move to the Etihad Stadium, but Brazil’s early exit from the tournament—falling to Uruguay in the quarter-finals—has freed him up. Now, with ample time, Sávio has traveled to Manchester to complete his signing with the club.

The young talent’s current presence in the city, following months of speculation about his transfer, suggests that the move is imminent. Sávio is expected to officially join Manchester City soon, ready to contribute to Guardiola’s team.
