Man City facing crunch decision on Barcelona target Savio

Manchester City are facing a decision on Brazilian whizkid Savio.

The attacker is on the books of umbrella company City Football Group (CFG) and currently starring for Girona.

Savio joined the Catalans from another CFG club, Troyes, over the summer after being spotted and signed by City from Atletico Mineiro a year ago.

The youngster is currently on-loan at Girona from Troyes, but his form has brought him to the attention of Barcelona, says Sport.

In his first five LaLiga games, the 19 year-old has one goal and two assists with Girona topping the table at one stage this past weekend.

Savio's deal at Troyes runs to 2027, with City having first refusal on all CFG talent.
