Savio has been<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/girona-wonderkid-savio-left-alone-man-city-tearing-up-la-liga-pep-guardiola-bench/blt606817a59757d4ec" target="_self"> ripping it up while on loan at Girona</a>, fuelling the Catalan minnows' most unlikely La Liga title bid. And City, who part-own Girona as well as French side Troyes, are on the verge of bringing the winger to the Etihad Stadium, according to <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1757442008723947773" target="_blank">Fabrizio Romano.</a>

WHAT HAPPENED?

Romano claims City have "all contracts ready for Savinho to join the club in July", adding that the documents are being reviewed and are close to being signed. The 19-year-old was bought by Ligue 2 side Troyes in 2022 but has never played for them, instead being loaned out to PSV Eindhoven before linking up with Girona last summer. Savio, who is also known as Savinho, has scored five goals and set up a further seven for Girona, who have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-owned-girona-spanish-leicester-city-la-liga-surprise-leaders-break-up-barcelona-real-madrid/blt447a53a0d31eae10" target="_blank">exceeded all expectations this season</a>, topping La Liga on various occasions and currently sitting second. They have lost just two games, both against Real Madrid, who now hold a five-point lead at the top after <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-girona-jude-bellingham-vinicius-jr/bltcd6d9ff8d03c8685" target="_blank">hammering the Catalans 4-0 last Saturday.</a>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Savio set his sights on eventually playing for Pep Guardiola's side when he first signed for Troyes, who were acquired by the City Football Group in 2020. "I have the goal of playing for City. I think that when I was signed my goal was always to get to City and I'm working towards that," he told PL Brazil last August.

DID YOU KNOW?

Savio is next in action for Girona against Athletic Bilbao next Monday, when the Catalans will look to respond to their <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-girona-jude-bellingham-vinicius-jr/bltcd6d9ff8d03c8685" target="_blank">demoralising thrashing by Madrid</a>. City are in Champions League action against Copenhagen on Tuesday.
