Man City complete signing of Brazilian winger Savio on five-year deal after sensational season at Girona

City have signed the Brazilian on a five-year deal until the summer of 2029 as they look to trudge on towards their fifth-straight Premier League title. The defending champions will part with up to £35 million ($45m). City will pay an initial fee of £21m ($27.5m), with the deal potentially containing £13m ($16m) in add-ons.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Savinho never played for Troyes but he gained fame last year while on loan at Girona. Savinho led Girona to third place in La Liga and a Champions League berth for the following season with nine goals and nine assists.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking to club media, Savio said: "I’m so happy to be joining Manchester City, the Premier League champions and Club World Cup winners. 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 the 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."

WHAT SAVIO SAID

The Brazilian will soon link up with Pep Guardiola and his team for pre-season training as they look to prepare for City's United States tour.
