We watch and observe City over the years. A potential sale of Savinho would be a masterstroke, not a mistake. We are good in the market. If we don’t want to, we don’t sell our key players. This all looks like a planned operation called Rodrigo. But don’t announce that you want to buy a new player, because his value goes up, and don’t announce that you want to sell a player, because his value goes down.
A few days ago Levy publicly defused the tension regarding the charges issue, today there are ongoing talks about selling Savio for a good price. If Savinho leaves, we will almost certainly need someone. The club won’t leave RW with only Bobb, who I hope will crush it this season, but he can’t be the only option — especially since he’s still really just coming back from injury. There’s also the option of Foden or Bernardo, but even Pep probably sees that as a plan B.
We’ll see, but for example, I would swap Savinho for Rodrigo. Savinho has potential, he does his job, but he’s still not Mahrez. I hope one day he will be. Today I prefer Rodrigo, because I think we’ll be stronger — much stronger — Rodrigo will deliver far more concrete numbers.
