Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has confirmed that young Brazilian winger Savinho is on the verge of signing a new contract with the club, ending speculation about his future.<\/p>\n
Guardiola, speaking about the 20-year-old talent, expressed the club\u2019s firm stance on retaining him despite interest from elsewhere. \u201cWe were so clear we wanted to keep him\u2026 Maybe the offer was not good enough for the club,\u201d Guardiola said, suggesting that rival bids did not meet City\u2019s valuation.<\/p>\n
Savinho, who impressed on loan last season, has been widely praised for his versatility and explosive pace. Guardiola highlighted these qualities, underlining why City are keen to secure his long-term future at the Etihad. \u201cBut at his age, last season he played a lot, can play on both sides, has pace that is unbelievable. He\u2019s very good!\u201d the Spaniard added.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian winger has developed rapidly since joining the City Football Group, catching the eye with his performances in Europe. His ability to operate effectively on either flank provides Guardiola with another exciting attacking option in a squad already stacked with talent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
