Girona star, Savinho, revealed his dream to play for Manchester City one day despite transfer interest from Barcelona.
The 19-year-old Brazilian is enjoying a purple patch since joining Girona from Troyes on loan in the summer.
He has appeared in 18 matches for the club where he scored five times and provided as many assists. He recently contributed to Girona’s fourth goal as they thrashed Barcelona 4-2 on Sunday.
After contributing immensely to the success of his team, who are currently leading the Spanish title race, Savinho has expressed his desire to don the Manchester City jersey in the future.
Speaking to Premier League Brasil, the winger said, “I have the goal of playing for City.
“Yes, I think that when I was hired, my goal was always to get to City and I’m working towards that.
“But I have to keep my focus on Girona and do things well to get there.
“If one day I arrive at City, you can be sure that I did things well at Girona, as I am doing.
“I want to continue working here so that one day I can reach City, which is my reference point.
“(Guardiola and I) never had any contact, I only saw him up close.
“He hired Kayky, who was from Fluminense, Gabriel Jesus, so he seems to get along well with Brazilians.
“It’s letting things happen naturally so that, God willing, one day, he can train me.”
