Therefore, his parent club will receive the potential transfer windfall of £33.6m — with the deal broken down into £21m upfront and a further £12.6m in performance-related add-ons, as per the Manchester Evening News given Troyes stand as a stark contrast to Girona's CFG success story they suffered a second successive relegation to France's third tier and fans protested against the CFG's ownership Troyes were ultimately spared from relegation after Ajaccio entered administration and were relegated to the Championnat National Riyad Mahrez's move to Saudi Arabia after City's treble-winning campaign of 2022/23 and Cole Palmer's subsequent switch to Chelsea left Pep Guardiola short of specialist right-wing options Phil Foden or Bernardo Silva tended to feature on the right flank last season but each prefer to operate more centrally and Kyle Walker was often tasked with providing natural width from right-back Guardiola might therefore hope Savio can provide a different option in what has become a problem position in relative terms Most of Savio's standout La Liga displays for Girona came on the left but Jeremy Doku and Jack Grealish mean City are well stocked on that side of the field Norway youngster Oscar Bobb is another exciting option on the right for Guardiola and will hope to kick on after making his first-team breakthrough in 2023/24 Sávio vs Jeremy

Argentina's Copa-winning forward Julian Alvarez The August 10 Community Shield clash with Manchester United is Savio's most likely debut game at this stage The clash at Wembley is a rematch of May's

Troyes, as per Voetbal International reports The 20-year-old Swedish youth international went through the ranks at Stockholm club AIK and made his debut in professional football at the age of seventeen Troyes, part of the City Football Group, allowed the youngster to trial with Pep Guardiola’s Man City side during pre-season and the winger has clearly made his presence known in brief appearances against AC Milan and Barcelona Speaking of his trial period with the Cityzens “The preparation under Guardiola was a unique experience But it is important for me to keep playing matches.” is something that the newly-promoted Tilburg side can provide be important for the team and develop myself as a person and player I am a winger who relies on his speed and creativity I therefore expect that Dutch football suits me better.” Fatah joins Willem II who currently sit in seventh and follows in the footsteps of another fine talent – Alexander Isak: “I know that Isak also played for

hope it won't happen again »How can this failure be explained?« We arrived at a special time There has been a generational turnover between the two seasons: 80% of the team has not played more than 30 games for Stade Rennais and 70% of the players are no more than 23 years old I know that everyone's analysis of this match will differ but the reality is that statistically we've played 8 games and lost 5 It's true that we've had some big opponents: Lille »The need for an electroshock :« Jorge l’a déjà dit lors de la dernière conférence nous avons besoin de joueurs avec des caractéristiques et des caractères différents Je crois qu’aujourd’hui l’équipe a besoin de beaucoup d’amour plus que d’un électrochoc le Stade Rennais était habitué à jouer l’Europe on est en concurrence avec des équipes qui jouent le maintien On essaye de fortifier le groupe pour que ça aille mieux »The level of Troyes :« I wasn't surprised by the level or the commitment of the opposition I watched almost ten of Troyes' games last weekend They're a team with the potential to return to Ligue 1 was our team's lack of reaction after conceding the goal That was one of our objectives and we're going to have to think hard after a game like that We're going to concentrate on getting back on track and doing much better than we did in the first half of the season we have to be very careful and we have to concentrate on saving ourselves We have to thank the fans who continue to support this team we need to do something better beforehand on the pitch We're going to do everything we can to give this team more heart and soul We have to realise that this is not the attitude that Stade Rennais should be showing We're really disappointed with the way we've performed We're going to have to do a lot better

At least one of Les Rouge et Bleu's attacking trio has been directly involved in each of Paris's last 25 goals in all competitions, with the last goal to have been scored by a different player and without an assist for any of the three being Nuno Mendes's strike against Nantes in Ligue 1 on 3rd September 2022 With more and more chemistry being created between them, Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr all scored in the same Ligue 1 game for the third time on Saturday following on from the matches at home to Lorient on 3rd April and away to Lille on 21st August Messi has both scored and assisted in three consecutive games across all competitions for both club and country for the first time since his four-game run in this respect between December 2017 and January 2018 He also scored his fourth goal from outside the box this season (as well as his fourth this October) against Troyes – the joint-highest tally of any player in Europe's top five leagues across all competitions Having scored his second goal for Paris just days after getting his first in the Champions League, Carlos Soler is certainly getting his bearings the midfielder is the first player other than Messi Neymar and Mbappé to score for PSG in two successive games across all competitions this season Only Brazil are better-represented as a country among the club's foreign players in this respect with ten Brazilians having netted for the capital club in the same time period as the 36-year-old hasn't lost a single one of his first 30 matches for Paris in all competitions who was unbeaten in his first 29 games for PSG.
