“I tried everything I could to convince him to join PSG, but he had already made up his mind—you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink,” former PSG player Neymar Jr. has confirmed that his £80 million countryman has chosen to join Manchester City instead of PSG.

Reports indicate that Manchester City is close to completing their first summer signing, with the player already seen in the vicinity. Typically, when a new signing is imminent, the club updates on social media or shares content from local sources. Players often explore the area beforehand to familiarize themselves before officially joining the team.

Having the new player integrate and train with Pep Guardiola’s squad right from the start would be advantageous as they prepare for their preseason tour in the US.

Brazilian striker Sávio, aged 20, widely regarded as one of the most promising young wingers globally, received praise from Girona manager Michel after a loan spell from ESTAC Troyes last season.

A personal shopper posted a photo of Sávio, linked with Manchester City, inside the exclusive Harvey Nichols store on Instagram. It seems Sávio went shopping ahead of a potential announcement of his transfer to the club.

Sávio’s presence in Manchester suggests his move to Manchester City is likely imminent after months of speculation. Despite his involvement in the Copa America with Brazil, his team’s quarterfinal exit allowed him time to finalize the transfer to the Etihad Stadium.
