But what exactly can we expect from this promising talent? Here are five things you need to know about Manchester City's latest acquisition:
Savio’s journey
Born Savio Moreira de Oliveira, the 20-year-old's rise to stardom began in his native Brazil, where he honed his skills with Atletico Mineiro.
)
Savio made his senior debut for the club as a 16-year-old, showcasing the immense potential that would soon catch the eye of Europe's elite.
Dribbling Maestro
We can confirm that Savinho's standout attribute as a wide forward is his exceptional dribbling ability.
)
)
Last season, the winger completed an impressive 104 dribbles, 18 more than anyone else in LaLiga, where he spent the campaign on loan at Girona.
Girona Breakthrough
Speaking of Girona, Savinho's loan spell at the modest Spanish club was a true breakout moment.
)
)
The Brazilian sensation scored 11 goals and provided 10 assists, helping the club secure a historic UEFA Champions League qualification.
He will be a big miss for Girona but a huge boost for Guardiola as he chases an unprecedented fifth consecutive PL win.
Versatile and Dangerous
Not only is Savinho a skilled dribbler, but he also possesses the versatility to operate across the front line.
While he primarily plied his trade on the left flank last season, the young winger is equally capable of playing on the right or through the middle.
)
This versatility will surely make the youngster a nightmare for opposing defenses in the PL under Guardiola, wanted by England as Gareth Southgate's replacement.
International Recognition
Savinho's impressive performances have not gone unnoticed on the international stage.
)
The Brazilian earned his first senior call-up in 2024 and made his debut in a 1-0 victory over England.
He then went on to score his first goal for his country in Brazil's 4-1 win over Paraguay at the 2024 Copa America.
)
With Savio's arrival, Manchester City have once again demonstrated their ability to identify and acquire the best young talent in world football.
The Brazilian's combination of skill, pace, and versatility is sure to make him a key figure in Pep Guardiola's plans for years to come, as the Cityzens look to defend their Premier League crown and challenge for European glory.
