FC Barcelona would have checked the name of Savio, the Brazilian winger who is on fire with Girona where he is on loan from Troyes.
FC Barcelona has a new target, and it is a player from Troyes. But the Blaugranas did not need to prospect in Ligue 2, since the player in question is Savinho, the Brazilian winger who has been on fire with Girona since the start of the season.
This 19-year-old phenom, whose full name is Sávio Moreira de Oliveira, was recruited for more than 6 million euros by Troyes in 2022 with money from Manchester City, the “parent” club of Estac. He has never worn the colors of Troyes, since he was loaned last season to PSV Eindhoven, before joining Girona, another City Group club, last July.
“Under-20 international with Brazil, regular starter with Míchel (who is the revelation coach of Spanish football), technical, fast, courageous and with a very well-equipped head, he is an attacker destined to have a very consistent career,” describes Sport about Savinho, author of 4 goals and 4 assists with the very surprising La Liga leader.
Sport indicates that there has already been a first contact between Deco, the sporting director of Barça, and the Brazilian’s entourage. Recruiting a left winger would be one of the priorities of Xavi, the Catalan coach, for the coming months. The Blaugrana have limited resources, and that is why they are ready to take a gamble like this, rather than recruiting an already more established star. Savinho is currently valued at €20 million by Transfermakt, but his value could rise further.
