The Premier League winners have long been linked with a move for Savio, and are finally set to conclude the deal to bring the talented Brazilian over. He is pacey and loves to dribble past opponents, making him similar to Jeremy Doku.
City already have a wealth of talented wingers in the form of Bernardo Silva, Jeremy Doku, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish, with Julian Alvarez also playing out wide when needed.
Adding another exciting winger to their ranks will surely add a new dimension to their attack and help them maintain their stronghold on the Premier League.
