Revelation of the season with Girona, Savio (19 years old) should obtain a nice promotion within the City Group, the Emirati owner of numerous clubs including Troyes, Girona and Manchester City. Indeed, the Brazilian midfielder purchased in 2022 by ESTAC in exchange for €6.5 million is insistently announced among the Cityzens even though he has never set foot in Aube. A situation which provoked the anger and indignation of a former member of the Trojan house, Jérôme Rothen.
“They perhaps imagine that, because it’s Troyes, we’re not going to be vigilant. I find that problematic. I just want to tell them: “get out, French football doesn’t need you”. I’m not ashamed to say it, we don’t need them. (…) It makes me angry. Through this player, everything is summed up. They use this club as a springboard for certain players. He is a quality player who could have brought things to Troyes”he declared on RMC Sport.
