“I feel I have so much improving to do -- I am still young and very hungry to keep learning...”

Brazilian winger Savinho has signed a new six-year contract with Manchester City, keeping him at the Etihad Stadium until 2031, with an option to extend the deal for another year. This move comes after Tottenham's reported interest in the player was deterred by Manchester City's £70 million valuation.

The transfer fee for Savinho's move to Manchester City was reportedly £30.8 million, with potential performance-based add-ons. He signed a five-year contract with the club, committing him until June 2029. This deal reflects Manchester City's confidence in Savinho's long-term potential.

Reaction from Savinho and Manchester City

Savinho expressed his delight at signing the new contract, stating, “I'm really happy and my family is also very happy. I feel fulfilled. My dream since I was little was always to play for Manchester City, and I managed to achieve that. And now, extending my contract here makes it even more special.” Manchester City's Director of Football, Hugo Viana, praised Savinho's potential, saying, “He has superb natural ability, works incredibly hard day in, day out, and he is humble.”

Tottenham's Interest and Manchester City's Valuation

Tottenham had shown interest in signing Savinho during the summer transfer window but ultimately backed off due to Manchester City's high valuation of the player. The deal would have cost the Spurs around £70 million. Savinho's commitment to Manchester City is expected to see him play a key role in the team's future success.

Savinho's Growth Under Pep Guardiola

Under Pep Guardiola's guidance, Savinho has demonstrated significant growth as a player. Guardiola believes Savinho has the potential to become a top-class player, praising his speed, work ethic, and ability to play on both sides of the field. Savinho has made 54 appearances for Manchester City, scoring four goals.
