Reports have revealed that Spanish coach Pep Guardiola was the reason behind the Brazilian star Savinho's continued presence during the recent summer transfer window.

According to the newspaper "El Nacional", Guardiola directly approached Hugo Vieira, the sporting director of Manchester City, urging him not to consider any offers for the Brazilian star Savinho.

The Brazilian star was one of the most sought-after names during the last summer transfer period, with Tottenham showing significant interest in signing him, but Guardiola insists on keeping him as part of the team's future project.

The young player delivered remarkable performances last season, making him a target for major European clubs, yet City sees him as an important asset for the upcoming phase.
