Headline: Ryanair Takes a Jab at Savinho’s Transfer Fee on Social Media
Ryanair, known for its budget airline model, has once again showcased its sharp wit on social media, this time commenting on the impending transfer of Brazilian player Savinho from Manchester City to Tottenham Hotspur. Reports indicate that the transfer fee is around 90 million euros, with potential bonuses adding to that total.
This substantial amount has baffled many football fans and caught the attention of the Irish airline. On Friday afternoon, Ryanair took to ‘X’ to quip, “By the way, that works out to 50 million euros per goal.”
Accompanying this statement, Ryanair shared a screenshot of Savinho’s Premier League statistics, which reveal that the player scored only two goals during his 53 appearances for Manchester City.
While Ryanair may charge 13.50 euros for a small packet of unsalted peanuts, the airline’s light-hearted critique highlights a valid perspective on the hefty price tag associated with the player’s performance. As social media exchanges continue to grow, Ryanair maintains its reputation for humor amidst the sports industry’s financial landscapes.
What do you associate with the airline Ryanair? With the practically nonexistent legroom? With the food cart mercilessly being rolled over your foot while you’re taking a five-minute power nap in the aisle seat?
That’s all true. At the same time, though, it shouldn’t go unmentioned that the Irish company has an extremely biting and often quick-witted social media presence. Ryanair also regularly comments on events in world football.

Savinho has now felt that in particularly painful fashion. According to consistent media reports, the Brazilian is set to move from Manchester City to Tottenham Hotspur for around 90 million euros. Further millions could be added through possible bonus payments.
This horrific sum has not only left many fans puzzled, but also our universally cherished low-cost airline. On Friday afternoon, the company wrote on ‘X’: “By the way, that works out to 50 million euros per goal.”
Ryanair also shared a screenshot showing Savinho’s Premier League stats in a Sky Blues shirt. The result: the attacking star managed just two goals in 53 appearances.

And even if a company that charges 13.50 euros for seven and a half unsalted peanuts is hardly the most credible authority on pricing, Ryanair actually does have a point here: that’s 50 million euros per goal.
