Man City willing to take Savinho away from Barcelona

Savinho has become the surprise package of La Liga this season after helping Girona to the top of the table, scoring five goals and providing four assists in 14 appearances.

His performances have attracted the interest of Barcelona, who were planning to move for him in the coming months. However, their plans could go awry as Manchester City are interested in his services, according to 'Sport'.

The same media outlet reports that the Etihad Stadium board are keeping an eye on his progress and want him to continue to fulfil his potential at Girona. Moreover, the Sky Blues would not even have to negotiate for his transfer as both Troyes and Girona are part of the City Football Group.

The Spanish club, which was founded in 1930, was bought out in 2017 by City Football Group, the UAE-based parent company of Manchester City.
