Pep Guardiola wants to keep Manchester City winger Savinho for “many years,” but will not stop any of his players leaving if they are determined to quit the Etihad Stadium. 

City goalkeeper Ederson has been linked with a move to Turkish side Galatasaray after Guardiola re-signed the club’s former youth academy graduate James Trafford from Burnley in the close season. 


Ahead of Saturday’s Premier League opener at Wolves, the City manager said: “If they want to leave, they will come to me. If they want to leave, they will knock on my door.”



Savinho, who made 48 appearances for City in his debut campaign last term, has been criticised for a lack of cutting edge. “Tottenham or any other club who wants a player should call the club,” he said. 

“I am only concerned right now that Savinho will be with us for the rest of the season and hopefully many, many years because at 21 years old, with the potential he has, he plays a lot of minutes. He has to improve in the final decisions but he is an extraordinary player,” he added.
