Savinho says he is delighted that he will be at ‘the best club in the world’ for another six years after signing a new contract at Manchester City.
The Brazilian joined at the beginning of last season and has now extended his stay at the Etihad through to the summer of 2031.
Savinho said he fulfilled a dream when he made his debut for City and has now made 53 appearances in total with four goals and 13 assists.
And the 21-year-old is thrilled to sign a new contract and said working with Pep Guardiola, his team-mates and for the best club made it an easy decision.
“First of all, I want to thank God for this new opportunity to sign another contract with Manchester City,” he said. “I’m really happy and my family is also very happy. I feel fulfilled!
“My dream since I was little was always to play for Manchester City, and I managed to achieve that. And now, extending my contract here makes it even more special.
“I feel really proud and I hope to continue and be very happy here at Manchester City.”
On what is special about the Club, he added: “I think everything – the manager, the players, the best club in the world, the club’s structure as well.
“Since the first day I arrived here the club has given me full support on every level – personal, family. My family is really happy here too – my daughter, my wife – so I’m very happy.”
Savinho believes he has become a better player already in his 14 months at the Etihad.
And he says that Guardiola and his coaching staff are continuing to help him make strides with his development.
“I think I’ve improved a lot,” he added. “In this first season, working with the staff and with Pep, I’m really happy to have developed under him.
“I think I’ve improved a lot tactically. Technically too – I understand the game better, I’ve learnt to read it better, to know what it asks in certain moments. Of course, I’m still very young and I have a lot to improve.”
Savinho helped City to the Community Shield and he’s excited at the opportunity of trying to help us to even more silverware.
“[Fans] can expect lots of joy on the pitch, goals, assists,” he added.
“I will give my best to help Manchester City win trophies, which is the most important thing.
“I hope to put my name in the club’s history by winning trophies. So I hope to do that together with my teammates and finish the season with lots of silverware.”
