It’s one of the sensations of La Liga this season. If Girona is a hit in La Liga, it is partly thanks to its individualities. Among them, Savinho, the 19-year-old Brazilian winger. He has established himself as one of the best players in the Spanish championship, and has 4 goals and 5 assists in 18 days. His dribbling skills regularly ignite football in Spain, and several big clubs are already on the lookout.
However, his contractual situation is complex. Indeed, the player belongs to… ESTAC. A major player from the La Liga co-leader who belongs to a club at the bottom of the Ligue 2 table, you read that correctly. Even if, in the end, it is the City Football Group which decides his career, and which will have to make a decision in the weeks to come.
Savinho is a hit in Spain
As the media Sport indicates, things have changed in recent weeks. First of all, the City Football Group has made a major decision: it will not leave Girona this winter. The approaches of English and German big names have thus been brushed aside, just as the interest of FC Barcelona currently seems very utopian. On the other hand, the CFG wants to do a little sneaky trick in January.
The Emirati group thus wants to change Savinho’s parent club via a federal transfer. He would continue to play for Girona in the second half of the season; only, he would no longer belong to Troyes but to another club in the group. It is even possible that he will become a Manchester City player in the coming days, while remaining in Catalonia. An operation which, from a bureaucratic and administrative point of view, is more complex than it seems. As for next summer, he could definitely stay in Pep Guardiola’s stable…
