Pep Guardiola’s side are yet to make a move in the market, but according to The Athletic, are preparing to sign the 20-year-old winger from fellow City Group club, Troyes.

The outlet adds that Guardiola’s side have ‘informed the youngster of their intention for him to become a part of their first-team plans next season.’

The winger, who hails from the municipality of Sao Mateus in Brazil, graduated from the Atletico Miniero youth academy before moving to Troyes in 2022.

Despite joining the French outfit, Savio has not made a single competitive appearance for Troyes, having been sent out on loan to play for PSV Eindhoven and Girona.

Savio has reaped the rewards of his excellent form, earning himself a call-up to the Brazil national squad this year, where he made his debut against England at Wembley.

He has gone on to win five caps, notably scoring in Brazil’s 4-1 Copa America victory against Paraguay on Saturday.

Troyes, meanwhile, have suffered back-to-back relegations in the past two seasons, with the club plummeting to the French third division after being relegated from Ligue 2 this summer.

It appears Man City may have been considering a swoop for the 20-year-old winger since December of last year, with rumours circulating that the club were interested in buying the winger from the French outfit.

Arsenal have also previously shown an interest in signing the Brazilian wonderkid back in 2022.
