Manchester City 'confident of £10m summer deal for Savio'
The 19-year-old joined Girona on loan from Troyes last July, and he has been in impressive form for the La Liga leaders this season, scoring six goals and registering five assists in 23 appearances.
A number of clubs have been credited with an interest in the teenager, but according to the Daily Star, Man City are the heavy favourites to secure his signature in a cut-price deal.
The report claims that the Premier League champions could purchase Savio for as little as £10m, as both Girona and Troyes are owned by the club's City Football Group.
Troyes would allegedly be able to ask for at least £30m from other clubs for the forward this summer, but Man City will potentially be paying only a third of that price.
Real Madrid are believed to be among the clubs keen on the forward, having watched him closely in Spain's top flight during the 2023-24 campaign.
Savio has managed five goals and five assists in 20 La Liga appearances this term, while he has netted once in three outings in the Copa del Rey.
The Brazil Under-20s international largely features as a left-sided attacker, but he has also played in a central position this season.
The youngster started his professional career with Atletico Mineiro, making 35 appearances for the Brazilian side in all competitions, before making the move to European football with Troyes.
Savio arrived at Troyes in June 2022, but he is yet to turn out for the French team, spending time on loan with Dutch outfit PSV Eindhoven during the 2022-23 campaign.
