Roma-Savio, the Giallorossi like Troyes’ talent

Not only zero parameters of certain reliability or expert players chosen also thanks to the precious opinion of José Mourinho. Trigoria also looks to the future, as demonstrated by the many “children” launched by the Special One, with the general manager Tiago Pinto who continues to keep an eye on the best talents on the launch pad on the national and international scene. It is therefore not surprising that the name of Sávio Moreira de Oliveira, known simply as Savio or Savinho, has also appeared on the Portuguese executive’s radar. Born in 2004, grew up in football at Atletico Miniero, the Brazilian spent the last season on loan at PSV Eindhoven after being bought – as soon as he was of age – by Troyes for 6.5 million euros. An operation managed by the City Football Group, which owns the French club and – above all – Manchester City (along with 11 other clubs). And there is just the shadow of the team coached by Guardiola behind Savio’s arrival in Europe, which is monitored remotely by the parent company.

THE SITUATION – Currently that of Savio is a name that Rome likes which, however, has not yet started a negotiation. If the interest were to materialize, it will be necessary to understand the intentions of Troyes (and City) which only a year ago had invested a significant amount in the Brazilian. But precisely the possibility of enhancing the footballer in a club that will play in the Europa League next season, with Mou on the bench, could be the key to getting to the attacker, perhaps with the formula of the loan with the right to buy. The situation could evolve in the coming weeks, once Pinto has completed the transfers necessary to respect the rules imposed by UEFA.

CHARACTERISTICS – Savio, who in his first season in Europe scored 9 appearances and 2 goals with PSV’s under-21 team and 8 appearances and 2 assists in the first team, was born as a right winger but can play both on the opposite lane and as an attacking midfielder. A role where in Rome he would find a specialist like Paulo Dybala, from whom he could receive valuable advice to grow quickly. Furthermore, during the Under 20 World Cup, the 19-year-old showed off by scoring 1 goal and 3 assists in 5 appearances.
