A Look into Girona’s Brazilian Sensation

As the transfers continue to shake the world of football, one notable move is the “transfer” of Savio from Girona to Manchester City.

The move is highly controversial due to the confusion surrounding multi-club ownership, with many believing Savio wouldn’t normally at €30 million. This didn’t stop the CFG group from completing the deal, as the Brazilian is already a Citizen.

Now that the transfer is complete, many ask: What does he bring to the table, and what can be expected from the Brazilian? Everything is covered in today’s column.

Savio’s Background

Savio, often called Savinho, grew up in Brazil and quickly became the star of Atlético Mineiro, where Brazilian giant Atlético Mineiro noticed him. He rapidly rose through the ranks, with club officials recalling how quickly he settled into the team, eventually becoming a starter.

Inevitably, Europe came calling for him. The City Football Group (CFG)-affiliated club Troyes (France) picked the player up in 2022, ust after he turned 18. Curiously, he barely played for them.

In his first season, he was loaned to Jong PSV on a one-season loan, which proved successful enough for the PSV first team to pick him up for another season on loan. This marked his first significant impact in Europe, where he began to look like a hot talent. To the dismay of the Dutch club, he did not continue after two years at the club.

Until now, there wasn’t anything that set Savinho apart from other Brazilian talents. But everything changed when Savinho was loaned to another CFG side – Girona. The acquisition was recent, and life changed for Savinho.

He became not just a star, but the star. He arrived at the best project he has ever encountered under the guidance of Spanish head coach Michel, who is well-known among Spanish fans.

Girona also strengthened their squad with other talents from different markets – notably the Ukrainian market, bringing in Artem Dovbyk and Viktor Tsygankov. The two are also a big part of Girona’s success, but Savio takes attacking dynamics to a whole new level.

Breakthrough In Girona

When Savio first arrived at Girona, most saw him as a great talent but nothing extraordinary. Unfortunately for the rest of La Liga, he would tear apart every defender that dared to face him.
