The Brazilian media continues to sound very confident that the City Group are about to complete the signing of Savinho from Atlético-MG.
Local reports say Manchester City’s owners are about to make the purchase for €6.5m, with another €6m in bonuses, while they still decide who he’ll play for in the coming years.
Now it turns out that the City Group already started moving for another player from Atlético-MG, according to new reports.
Torcedores says there are talks for the transfer of Yan Philipe, a 17-year-old midfielder. The negotiation is said to be in ‘initial stages’, as there’s no official bid yet.
Yan Philipe is protected by a long contract, as even though that expires in 2023, it’ll be automatically renewed for two years once he gets promoted to the first team.
He has a release clause worth €56m.
It isn’t said how much the City Group are offering for the transfer, or if he’d have a chance to move to Manchester City instead of their partners. With talks open for Savinho, there’s certainly an easier communication for Yan Philipe as well.
