Manchester City has officially signed Savinho from Troyes on a five-year contract, in a deal worth up to €40 million (£33.7m; $43.7m).
The Brazilian winger’s contract will keep him at the club until June 2029, as confirmed by the club:
“Manchester City are delighted to announce the signing of Brazilian winger Savinho from Troyes on a five-year deal until 2029.”
The 20-year-old becomes Manchester City’s first signing of the summer ahead of the 2024/25 season, as the team aims to defend their English Premier League title and prepare for the Champions League.
Savinho had a stellar season on loan at Girona last year, helping the Spanish side qualify for the Champions League for the first time in their history. He scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists, contributing to Girona’s third-place finish behind Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Expressing his excitement about the move, Savinho 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.”
