Manchester City have been weakened for two big reasons this summer. Manager Pep Guardiola has left after 9 successful years and Ballon d’Or winner Rodri has signed with Barcelona.

Now the Sky Blues have agreed with Tottenham to sell Savinho, which will make the challenge for new manager Enzo Maresca even greater. – Maresca’s plan is to heal several players from the club he led just over six months ago Chelsea, but it is one of several races. Some more realistic than others.

Manchester City are chasing Palmeiras winger who is perfect to replace Savinho

Manchester City are working on signing Palmeiras winger Allan Elias, according to The Athletic. The 22-year-old is one of several options now that Savinho is leaving for Tottenham. But Palmeiras are not said to be interested in selling the youngster this summer.

The Brazilian has a buyout clause of a staggering €100 million – and the club’s reluctance to sell means that City will have to put a massive bid on the table to get negotiations started.

Allan Elias broke through to Palmeiras’ first team in 2025 and has since delivered impressive numbers: six goals and five assists in 28 league games. The 22-year-old is considered one of Brazil’s most exciting offensive talents.

With Savinho on his way out, and with Allan Elias’ high buyout clause, City will have to decide whether to invest heavily in the young Brazilian – or go for other options.
