ESTAC Troyes signed Sávio (19) from Atlético Mineiro for just over €6m back in the summer of 2022. 18 months later, there is talk of a move to Manchester City, however, he has not earned his reputation for parent club Troyes, for whom he has never made an appearance.
The Brazilian winger signed a five-year deal with Les Aubistes back in 2022 but was immediately loaned out to PSV Eindhoven, where he made eight first-team appearances, registering two assists. This season, he has been loaned out to another City Football Group (CFG) club, Girona, who are flying high in La Liga. The club are second, with Sávio scoring five goals and registering five assists.

According to Fabrizio Romano, those performances have been enough to convince Manchester City to bring the Brazilian youth international to the Etihad Stadium. Internal discussions are currently taking place to sign Sávio for next season. Other Premier League clubs, as well as Bundesliga clubs, are waiting with €30m proposals.
Regardless, Sávio will complete the current season with Girona. It now looks unlikely, as expected, that Sávio will ever play for Troyes.
