20-year-old joining Man City this summer labelled “special” by current manager..

Man City will welcome Savio to the Etihad Stadium this summer and Girona boss Michel has stated that the winger is “the best player I’ve ever had”.

It was confirmed in February that the 20-year-old will be joining Man City from French club Troyes ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, once his loan deal with Girona expires at the end of the season. All these clubs are part of the City Football Group so the final destination for the Brazilian was always going to be the Premier League side.

The signing is a very exciting one for Man City going off the displays the winger has shown in Spain this season. Savio has scored 10 goals and assisted a further nine across 37 games for Girona, who found themselves in an unexpected title race for most of the campaign.

Speaking about the 20-year-old, Girona boss Michel has stated that the Brazil star is the “best player I’ve ever had”.

“When I saw Sávio in the first training session I said: we’re gonna play in Europe next season, he’s special. He’s the best player I’ve ever had,” the Spanish coach has said via Fabrizio Romano.

What will Savio bring to Man City?
Savio will unlikely make an instant impact at Man City due to his age and will certainly be eased into the Premier League by Pep Guardiola.

The Brazilian has mostly featured on the left wing for Girona this season and at the Etihad, he will compete with Jack Grealish and Jérémy Doku for that role. The 20-year-old can also play on the right so that versatility will be very useful for Guardiola.

Savio is a proper winger and will bring pace and creativity to City when he arrives. The Girona star does a lot of things well but under Guardiola’s watch the youngster could go to another level.

NEWSManchester City midfielder sustains potentially season-ending injury – Details revealed in separate reportPublished: 19:30 on May 6th 2024 | Last Updated: 12:32 on May 6th 2024By Freddie Pye
SHARETWEET
The ongoing season for Kalvin Phillips looks to have ended prior to the final day of the season, with a new report revealing an injury sustained by the England international.

The 28-year-old has endured a second successive problematic season in top-level football, with his first season issues at Manchester City largely seeing heavily restricted game-time for the midfielder as he struggled to acclimatise to Pep Guardiola’s system.

Many believed that the second season could be different for the former Leeds United man, with supporters often understanding that it takes many players once campaign to gauge a stronger understanding of what is required of them in a Pep Guardiola side.

However, having endured similar struggles during the first-half of the ongoing season, and a European Championship campaign with England on the horizon, a decision was made to sanction a loan move for Phillips at West Ham.

Unfortunately for the defensive midfielder, individual errors, restricted game-time, and now an injury has created even further problems for Kalvin Phillips, who is very likely to be sold by Manchester City during the upcoming summer transfer window.

As first reported by The Athletic’s Dan Sheldon and Sam Lee, Phillips’ season at West Ham looks set to be over after picking up an injury, with the midfielder possibly set for an early return to City for treatment on the problem.

The report details that it is yet to be decided where Kalvin Phillips will undergo his rehabilitation, with both West Ham and Manchester City’s medical departments currently in discussions.

While the problem was first understood to be unknown, a subsequent report from The Telegraph’s Mike McGrath revealed that the on-loan Manchester City man had sustained a calf problem.

It remains unknown whether Manchester City will look to recruit a direct replacement for Kalvin Phillips during the upcoming summer transfer window, however there is a clear intention to sign talent in the central areas.

The wider belief is that there is significant interest from within the Etihad Stadium in both Newcastle’s Bruno Guimaraes and West Ham’s Lucas Paqueta – with both players knowing eachother well from their time together at Olympique Lyonnais.

Manchester City are also believed to be drawing together contingency plans concerning the longer-term future of Kevin De Bruyne, with the 32-year-old attracting growing attention and interest from the Saudi Arabian game amid his contractual situation at the club.

Should we celebrate Erling Haaland for wearing pyjamas on a private jet?

READ MORE: Traveller argues why you should ALWAYS wear Crocs on a flight
Money doesn’t come into it. Actually, it does, obviously, starting with the private jet, the flashy wristwatch, the designer sunglasses. And that’s before we get to the pyjamas.

But the question is whether it’s acceptable to wander through an airport in PJs. Is Erling Haaland, the Manchester City footballer, guilty of dragging us down a slippery slope in travel attire? Or should we celebrate his verve, his self-confidence, his fashion sense? Here are two contrasting views…

No, it’s slobbish, says Amanda Platell

He may earn almost £900,000 a week but turning up for a flight wearing £1,000 Dolce & Gabbana pyjamas shows that Erling Haaland has no class, even when he’s on a private jet to Monaco.

What’s more, he echoes a troubling trend whereby travellers increasingly appear at the airport looking like they’ve just fallen out of bed.

On a recent trip to Ibiza I couldn’t believe the state of my fellow passengers who had pitched up for the 6am flight. Yes, we all had to set our alarms for pre-dawn but, surely, out of sheer self-respect there’s time for a shower and a quick change into a clean outfit to travel in.

Why do people think it’s acceptable to look like an unwashed slob when those who are employed to check our tickets, serve us in duty free, prepare our full English breakfast and look after us on the plane are all dressed in their uniforms, neat as a pin.

It’s disrespectful to them and to yourself. Even for me, having travelled from here to Australia and back for 40 years on 20-hour flights, I wouldn’t dream of turning up in PJs, even if they were gold-encrusted.

I’m not saying we should go back to BOAC days when passengers dressed as if they were going to a smart dinner party (although that would be nice) but what’s wrong with a pair of Sweaty Betties and a loose top?

As it happens, as an experienced traveller on long and short haul flights, my preferred attire is a smart loose coat, scarf, jeans and a T-shirt, something I also feel comfortable in when turning up after the flight at a decent hotel.

Wearing PJs on planes is just naff.

Yes, they’re stylish, says Alexandra Shulman

Not long ago, I was advised by a travel PR that the first rule when it came to wangling upgrades was not to wear denim. I wonder if they’ve come on board with the news that pyjamas are now acceptable.

Or they are, if they’re the right kind of pyjamas because not all pyjamas are created equal. Erling Haaland, Manchester City’s platinum blond striker, definitely has a catwalk-worthy collection, including several pairs by the Italian design duo Dolce & Gabbana who led the movement in anytime, anyplace, anywhere pyjamas.

But he’s not alone in indulging in the appeal of this look. It’s no longer difficult for the rest of us to pull it off, meaning you can travel in the same sartorial comfort, even in seat 23D rather than the cream leather cocoon of the other kind of PJ (private jet). Pyjamas have appeared on the red carpet these days so there’s no reason to avoid them for travelling, but they must have a certain elan. They have, in other words, to be worn with confidence rather than as if the wearer forgot to set the alarm in time for check-in.

So pristine and crease-free colour or a bold print is the way to go. And they should not, under any circumstances, be that kind of pull-on jersey and sweatshirt style. Nor, heaven forbid, feature any kind of cartoon character.

Thought of as the modern two-piece they are simply a great plus when it comes to travelling in comfort.

So much better than being trussed up in a tight pair of trousers, leggings which are always a zero-style zone or shorts (particularly on men) which I find far more slobby than PJs.

Accessorised with styled hair (as Erling does), a pair of shades and some smart carry-on luggage, pyjamas are definitely a serious option for travel.

But when it comes to footwear, fluffy slippers are still very much a no-go area.

Erling Haaland laughed off Roy Keane’s criticism of his play and said he pays little notice to what ‘that man’ has to say.

Former United great Keane has an ugly history with the Haalands, having effectively ended the career of Alfie Haaland – Erling’s dad – when he was City captain in 2003 with an horrific challenge that he later admitted was pre-meditated to cause harm. Despite being one of the more positive voices around City in the media, Keane made headlines recently when he compared Haaland’s build-up play to that of a League Two player.

Haaland scored four against Wolves to race to 25 Premier League goals and 36 in all competitions in a season where he has missed two months with injury. The goals helped keep City on course for back-to-back doubles, and all but sealed consecutive top flight Golden Boots for the Norwegian.

Pep Guardiola had to calm Haaland when he was substituted with the No.9 annoyed at a lack of protection from officials during the game, but he had calmed down by the time he headed to the dressing room. Not even the mention of Keane’s criticism could draw a rise out of Haaland when he did his post-match interviews as he shrugged off the opinion.

“I don’t really care that much about that man, so that’s all right,” he told Norwegian broadcaster Viaplay

TRANSFERS20-year-old Manchester City midfielder to leave for FREE this summer – Bundesliga clubs circling for signaturePublished: 22:30 on May 2nd 2024 | Last Updated: 19:01 on May 2nd 2024By Freddie Pye
SHARETWEET
Manchester City are set to lose their highly-rated Academy midfield talent Josh Adam on a free transfer this summer, as clubs from across Europe circle for his signature.

The Scottish youth international first made the switch to the City Football Academy from Scottish Premier League giants Celtic in 2020 and has impressed coaching staff across age groups in various levels of the club’s youth system.

Such is the highly-rated nature of Josh Adam’s game that the versatile midfielder has often been asked to train with Pep Guardiola’s first-team squad, and joined the Manchester City senior side as recently as Thursday ahead of the meeting with Wolves.

However, having spent the last two season’s operating under Brian Barry-Murphy within Manchester City’s Elite Development Squad, Adam is now keen to take the leap into regular senior football, and as such moving away from the Etihad Stadium.

As per the information of Jack Gaughan, writing in the latest edition of MailSport’s Man City Notebook this week, Josh Adam is set to leave Manchester City on a free transfer at the end of the ongoing season.

It is stated that the 20-year-old midfielder wants to ‘challenge himself in the senior game’, and there is reportedly early interest from clubs in both the Bundesliga and Belgian Pro League, with Adam himself said to be ‘enthused’ at the prospect of moving out onto the continent.

Josh Adam’s father has already confirmed a move away from Manchester City, after he penned a heartfelt message on his personal social media channel at the back end of last month.

Posting on X, formerly known as Twitter, Allan Adam stated, “Good luck today son in your last game for Man City. Been a quick four years.”

Elsewhere and Manchester City’s hunt for the next best talent in the youth football scene continues, as they expect to welcome senior Brazil international winger Savio to the Etihad Stadium this summer from Troyes and an excellent loan spell with Girona.
