Barcelona are reportedly keeping a close watch on Manchester City’s young Brazilian winger Savinho as they plan potential reinforcements for next season.
Barcelona weigh up Manchester City winger Savinho as potential wide-reinforcement
The Camp Nou hierarchy, led by sporting director Deco and his recruitment team, have identified Savinho as a promising option — especially if the club’s attacking roster sees turnover.
With uncertainty surrounding the futures of some wide players at Barcelona, this interest comes at a key moment.
Recent links to exits for certain forwards have prompted the Catalan side to draw up a shortlist of potential signings, with Savinho’s name underlined among their priorities.
Savinho, aged 21, could represent a long-term investment. He offers youth, pace, versatility and room for growth — traits that apparently align with Barcelona’s vision for a revamped wide attack.
However, while the interest is real, there are challenges attached. Critics have pointed out that Savinho has struggled at times to consistently deliver end-product: this season, he has registered only three direct goal contributions in 15 appearances across all competitions for City.
It is also worth remembering that Savinho has prior experience in Spanish football, having spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Spanish side Girona FC — a spell during which he impressed with his dribbling, attacking flair and overall impact.
At this stage, there has been no formal offer. But with Barcelona monitoring the situation, Savinho remains a name firmly on their radar — a potential gamble that could pay off if he unlocks his best form.
