As per Fabrizio Romano’s latest update, Manchester City has surged ahead in the competition to secure the signature of a £30 million target previously linked with Real Madrid, drawing comparisons to Vinicius Jr. The player in question has notched an impressive 12 goals and provided 6 assists in the ongoing season, establishing himself as a remarkable talent.

Manchester City has taken the lead in the race to secure a £30 million deal for Savio, leaving Real Madrid trailing behind, as reported by the Daily Star.

The City Football Group, which currently includes the Brazilian player, is set to bring him to the Etihad Stadium this summer, following impressive performances while on loan at Girona. Pep Guardiola’s admiration for Savio’s contributions in Spain has paved the way for Manchester City to acquire the winger at a cost of £10 million, a significantly lower figure compared to other European clubs.

Real Madrid is reportedly disappointed as they saw Savio as the potential successor to Vinicius Junior. With 21 La Liga games this season, Savio has accumulated five goals and seven assists, contributing to Girona’s unexpected success. The 19-year-old has expressed a desire to play for Manchester City, citing the City Group project as appealing. Barcelona has also shown interest, but Savio’s impressive performance suggests a likely move to Manchester City.
