Savinho

[shroom]

Being reported he's officially signed with Troyes of CFG for 6.5m€ with 6m€ in add-ons. Turned 18 yo in April. Expected to immediately head to PSV on loan.
PSV came 2nd in the Eredivisie last year and just signed nifty Xavi Simons. PSV fans appear to think Savinho will compete with 19 yo Bakayoko for playing time.
He seems like a Gabby 2.0 personality - Brazilian who loves his ma, loves God, loves his girl, loves his grandparents, loves football and is quite driven.
I put him in the 'Cole Palmer' tier of City prospects - wide range of outcomes - flying-under-the-radar vibe - has City struck gold yada yada yada.
He seems to have the same agents as Kayky, and I assume those folks put together this 'thank you' video for Atletico MG:

[just wanted to start a thread for him as he should def be one to watch out on loan]

Savinho – ESTAC Troyes’ record transfer who they will never see​

Manchester City did not sign the player directly because of post-Brexit regulations that prevent a club from signing 3 foreign players under the age of 21 per transfer window, as well as the ability to sidestep FFP rules by ensuring that other CFG clubs are taking on the financial burden for signing players who will not be immediately vital to the Manchester City 1st team.

"as well as the ability to sidestep FFP rules by ensuring that other CFG clubs are taking on the financial burden for signing players who will not be immediately vital to the Manchester City 1st team."

How do they think that works then, given that we have to pay fair market value for any player we sign from a CFG club?

Kayky might be one.

Kayky might be one.

not this window. You can buy 3 per window under 21.

not this window. You can buy 3 per window under 21.

Did we buy Alvarez in this window, or is it classed as January?

True, article is clutching as straws. Making moves we dont need to to get round rules.

Alvarez is 22 so was an over 21 signing.
