"You'll get a lot of opportunities."
Manchester City are sad to move to Julián Álvarez, but Saviou can laugh.
The British public broadcaster 'BBC' dealt with the imminent Alvarez Atletico Madrid on the 7th (Korea Standard Time). Pep Guardiola said he believes in Alvarez's transfer, but Alvarez is definitely going to Atletico. Until now, Manchester City has not unconditionally caught players who say they are leaving, given the cases of Ilkay Gündogan, Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laport.
Alvarez will record the highest transfer fee ever for Manchester City. David Onstein, a reporter for The Athletic, said on the 7th, "Manchester City and Atletico Madrid have agreed on the transfer and personal terms have been agreed. Alvarez is transferring for up to 95 million euros (about 142.7 billion won) including the option, which is the most record-breaking sale in Manchester City's history. Alvarez came to Manchester City in January 2022 and said that the transfer fee was 17 million euros (about 25.5 billion won)."
On the 7th, when the transfer was virtually confirmed, Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the transfer market, shouted "HERE WE GO" and said, "Atletico will bring Alvarez for 95 million euros. After negotiations with the Alvarez agent, we succeeded in agreeing to a long-term contract."
The highest transfer fee in Manchester City's history was when it sold Raheem Sterling to Chelsea. It was 56.2 million euros, but Álvarez broke the Sterling record. The option is deducted from 75 million euros, which is even more than Sterling's 56.2 million euros. Manchester City will have a bigger profit than the 47 million euros (70.5 billion won) that Cole Palmer from the Youth made when he moved to Chelsea. It has been a long time since the club made a big profit.
Manchester City is expressing concern over the increasing burden on Elling Holan due to Alvarez transfer. Alvarez is a striker, but he can also play on the side and the center of the second line. He was called a "winning contractor." He contributed to Manchester City's treble and Argentina's victory in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. He won the Premier League last season, adding another trophy, and led the team to a third consecutive major championship by winning the title in the CONMEBOL Copa America U.S.A. in 2024.
He appeared in 36 matches (31 starts) in the Premier League last season. He had 11 goals and nine assists to repay his trust and scored five goals in seven matches (two starts) in the UEFA Champions League. Alvarez became the best player in Manchester City by lifting trophies in succession and setting personal records well, but he was always overshadowed by that at Manchester City. Alvarez sought a transfer and ended up moving to Atletico.
"BBC" highlighted the imminent transfer of Álvarez Atletico, saying, "Sabiu will benefit from the transfer of Álvarez. There are no No. 9 players in the Manchester City squad. Sabiu can get more opportunities than expected." I didn't mean that Sabiu would take the center stage, but it meant that other side resources would take on the role of zero-top to replace Holan, and Sabiu could get a relatively more opportunity.
Sabiou is a winger for Brazil's national team. Born in 2004, he grew up in Atlecicu Mineiro and started his European career by moving to Trua in 2022. He played on loan at PSV Eindhoven and Girona, where he performed amazingly. During the last season, he had nine goals and 10 assists while playing 37 matches in Spain's La Liga. He mainly played on the left side and was called the "second Vinicius Junior" due to his crazy performance.
He led the Girona boom by playing with Artem Dovvik, Victor Tsikhankou, and Porto. Girona ranked third in La Liga and secured a berth at the UEFA Champions League. Girona's core Saviou returned to Truia, but had no chance to stay there. Manchester City came forward despite keen interest from other teams.
Manchester City offered a base transfer fee of 21 million pounds plus 12.6 million pounds. As Trua accepted, Saviour got to wear the Manchester City jersey. Saviour said, "I am so happy to join Manchester City, the champion of the Premier League and the winning team of the Club World Cup. Manchester City is the world's best team and I am very excited to play. I am also happy to play for Pep Guardiola, the best coach of all time. I will get some help to grow further. I had an amazing time in Spain. Now I will play with some of the best players in the world in the Premier League and take on new challenges. I can't wait to meet my Manchester City fans and colleagues. I hope I can help Manchester City to succeed."
If Phil Foden and Bernardou Silva, who have fake No. 9, take the center stage, they will have a seat on the side and Saviou could be called as Guardiola. It is true that fierce competition with Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish is expected, but Saviou can compete with a little less pressure. Of course, it is assumed that Manchester City does not find a substitute for Álvarez.
