Sávio Moreira de Oliveira (born 10 April 2004), known as Savinho or simply Sávio, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Manchester City and the Brazil national team.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Born in São Mateus, Espírito Santo, Savinho was raised on his grandparents' farm.[3]

Club career

[edit | edit source]

Atlético Mineiro

[edit | edit source]

The attacker joined Atlético Mineiro at the under-14 youth level, quickly drawing attention.[4] Savinho signed his first professional contract on 18 June 2020, securing a three-year deal with a release clause of 60 million euros.[5] With strong performances for Galo, the attacker was called up by the Brazilian U-15 Team to participate in the South American Championship, where he emerged as a champion.[6]

In 2020, Savinho was integrated into the transition team and began training frequently with the professional squad. He made his debut for the first team on 19 August in a 4-3 victory against Atlético Goianiense in Goiânia.[7][8]

In 2021, he was part of the squad that won the triple crown for Atlético Mineiro that season.[9] In October, he was listed by the English newspaper The Guardian as one of the 60 most promising young players in the world born after 2004.[10]

He scored his first professional goal on 19 May 2022, sealing a 3-1 victory over Independiente del Valle at the Mineirão Stadium in a Copa Libertadores match.[11] On 30 June, Atlético announced an agreement for his transfer to City Football Group for 6.5 million euros, with an additional six million in bonuses. The young attacker was initially allocated to Troyes, a club in France.[12]

Troyes and loans to PSV, Girona

[edit | edit source]

On 30 June 2022, Atlético Mineiro announced the transfer of Savinho to the City Football Group for a record €6.5 million, with an additional €6 million in performance-related variables. Savinho was initially assigned to Troyes, a Ligue 1 club within the City Group. Before his loan to Girona, another City Group team, he was loaned out to PSV. Savinho never made an appearance for Troyes, while the club nearly suffered consecutive relegations to Ligue 2 and then the Championnat National (the latter was only avoided due to Bordeaux's administrative relegation for financial issues). This led to fan disillusionment and backlash against the City Group ownership.[13]

On 22 July 2022, Savinho joined PSV on loan for the 2022–23 season.[14]

On 13 July 2023, Savinho moved to La Liga side Girona on loan for the 2023–24 season.[15] He finished his loan season at Girona with 9 goals and 10 assists in 37 games.[16] In addition, he made the most successful dribbles in the league with 104.[17]

Manchester City

[edit | edit source]

On 18 July 2024, Savinho signed for Premier League club Manchester City in a transfer reportedly worth £30.8 million.[18] On 10 August, he made his debut for the club, winning the 2024 Community Shield as City defeated local rivals Manchester United 7–6 on penalties, after a 1–1 draw in regular time.[19] On 18 August, he made his Premier League debut in a 2–0 win away at Chelsea, being replaced by Phil Foden at half-time after suffering a knock.[20] Savinho scored his first City goal on 29 December in a 2–0 league victory over Leicester City, helping the team to their first away win since October.[21] On 4 January 2025, Savinho made two assists and a shot which led to an own goal in a 4–1 home league win over West Ham United.[22] Savinho scored his first UEFA Champions League goal on 29 January as a substitute for İlkay Gündoğan in a 3–1 home league phase victory over Belgian Pro League champions Club Brugge, helping Manchester City secure knockout phase play-offs qualification.[23]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Savinho was a member of the Brazil U15 team that won the 2019 South American U-15 Championship, during which he scored four goals.[24]

Savinho was also called up to the team which took part in the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He scored one goal in Brazil's 6–0 group stage victory against the Dominican Republic.[25] Brazil won their group, but was eventually eliminated by Israel in the quarter-finals.[26]

On 1 March 2024, Savinho got his first call-up to the Brazil senior team for the friendlies against England and Spain. He made his debut against England on 23 March 2024, which ended in a 1–0 victory.[27] On 28 June, Savinho scored his first senior goal for Brazil in a 4–1 victory against Paraguay in the 2024 Copa América group stage.[28]
