Barcelona want to bring in young Girona striker

September 22, 2023
Barcelona are reportedly interested in bringing in Savio from their La Liga team-mate Girona. The 19-year-old Brazilian has started his 2023-24 campaign. In five league games, he has scored one goal and passed the ball to his teammates twice, starting all five of his games.

Savio scored one goal and conceded one goal in Girona's last league game: a 4-2 victory at Granada, the third-placed team behind second-placed Barcelona due to Ball difference. The striker on loan from French side ESTAC Troyes Ligue 2 has become an integral part of Michel's squad. According to Gol (via SPORT), Barca are looking at a move for the 19-year-old.

With the Troyes-owned City Group (CFG) owned striker, the Blaugrana does not need to negotiate with CFG's Catalan rivals Girona. Savio could replace Joao Felix on loan at the Camp Nou if the Portuguese striker returns to Atletico Madrid at the end of the season. The Brazilian has a market value of លាន 5 million, which should not be a problem for the Blaugrana, who are still struggling financially.
