Manchester City recently announced the extension of Brazilian attacking player Savio's contract until the summer of 2031. The 21-year-old winger highlighted two names, Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva, as he spoke about his teammates who are inspiring him after the new contract.
According to Savio, the Norwegian striker amazes him in a certain way: how easily he seems to be scoring consecutive goals. "Holand's goals are even the norm. I wonder how he maintains such effectiveness in every game," said the young Brazilian. At the same time, she expresses special gratitude for the advice and support she receives from Bernardo: "Bernardo is a value that harmonizes with the history here. He guides me both on and off the field and doesn't hold back his advice on clearing up my game."
Savio has been with City since the summer of 2024. His European journey followed Atlético Mineiro through Troyes, PSV Eindhoven and Girona. The Manchester club brought him from Troyes for approximately €25 million. Since then, the Brazilian winger has earned the trust of the coaching staff in his very first seasons.
In the summer, Tottenham Hotspur made two offers, initially offering around €50 million and later €70 million. But the "citizens" have closed these options - it's clear that Savio has become an important link in the club's plan. This decision was also influenced by his growth trajectory: dribbling matching team style, speed, and growth in decision-making.
Josep Guardiola's influence on the young striker's personal development is also significant. Savio emphasizes that he is increasingly focusing on details in every training session, learning to choose the right position in both attack and defense. And the competition in the team does not reduce its intensity, but, on the contrary, forces it to increase.
One of the strongest aspects of quality is universality. He can work both on the right and left flank, striving to make the right decision about directing an "inner cut" shot or quickly delivering the ball to a teammate. These qualities make him a well-functioning player in the same system as a central goalscorer like Haaland and an intelligent playmaker like Bernardo.
Statistical indicators also indicate growth: Savio has made over 50 appearances for City's first team, contributing goals and decisive assists. Following his new contract, the club's mandate of trust has been extended again - creating the necessary environment for the player's peaceful and consistent development.
In conclusion, it can be said: Holand's efficiency like a car, Bernardo's intelligence and culture, Guardiola's demands for everything down to the smallest detail - all of these are great lessons for Savio. The new contract means that there are still many lessons at this school. Fans expect him to become more mature with such an "inspiring duet" at every step.
