FC Barcelona have reportedly angered Savio, the Brazilian winger who is on fire at Girona, where he is on loan from Troyes.
FC Barcelona have a new target, and it’s a Troyes player. But the Blaugrana did not want to sign in Ligue 2, as the player in question is Savinho, the Brazilian winger on fire with Girona since the start of the season.
The 19-year-old phenom, whose full call-up is Sávio Moreira de Oliveira, signed for more than €6 million through Troyes in 2022 with cash from Manchester City, Estac’s “parent” club. He has never played for Troyes, having spent last season on loan at PSV Eindhoven before signing for Girona, another City Group club, last July.
“An under-20 foreigner with Brazil, a normal starter with Míchel (who is the revelation coach of Spanish football), technical, fast, brave and with a very well-equipped head, he is a striker destined to have a very consistent career. “”, describes Sport about Savinho, who had four goals and four assists with an unexpected La Liga leader.
Sport reports that the first contacts have already taken place between Deco, Barça’s sporting director, and the Brazilian’s entourage. Signing a left-back would be one of the priorities of Xavi, the Catalan coach, for the coming months. Savinho has been valued at €20 million through Transfermakt lately, but his price can still rise.
