Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

Sávio is a 22-year-old attacking midfielder at Manchester City, rated 79.3 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 122nd of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League and 158th of 2878 U-23 players tracked. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (32.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.21 goal contributions per 90 (0.11 goals, 0.11 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sávio.

Judged on this season alone, Sávio graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 63rd of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 1 goal and 1 assist in 24 appearances (0.21 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 28 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 79, 31st of 73 of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 22 Sávio is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 90.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Sávio missed 9 games through injury (health problems, wound) out of roughly 38 this season. The 24 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Goals / app

1 goal in 24 appearances (0.04 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 2 goal contributions in all.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 99.5/100).
  • Ceiling. High potential at just 22 — room to grow into a bigger role.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 32.9% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.21 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.

Outlook

With a Rating of 79.3, Sávio carries the 31st-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League of 73 — though on just 24 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.21 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
