Emerging Talent Savio Shines as Barcelona’s Versatile Young Star
Savio, a promising Brazilian talent, has been impressing at Barcelona while primarily playing as a left winger this season. He’s contributed 3 goals and 4 assists to the Catalan club’s campaign, showcasing his versatility as he can also perform as a right winger or an attacking midfielder when the situation demands.
The 19-year-old has gained recognition as one of Europe’s standout players this season in several key statistical categories:
- Expected assists, where he ranks 6th.
- Goal-creating actions, where he stands at an impressive 7th.
- Successful take-ons, ranking 9th among his peers.
Savio is currently on loan from French side Troyes, and his contract with the Ligue 2 team is set to run until 2027. Notably, Troyes belongs to the renowned City Group, which has stakes in clubs such as Manchester City and Girona.
Girona, who currently share the top spot on the La Liga table with Real Madrid at 28 points, has expressed an interest in acquiring the services of a left winger. While Barcelona had considered the possibility of signing Nico Williams, that option now seems less likely as Williams is expected to extend his contract with Athletic Club.
