Former PSV mercenary Sávio can also stay in the Eredivisie, according to an update from transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano on Twitter. According to the Italian, the City Football Group will soon make a decision about the nineteen-year-old attacker, who did not shine in Eindhoven last season. Romano reports that the Brazilian can opt for clubs from Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and Belgium when he leaves. La Gazzetta dello Sport reported on Thursday that AS Roma is interested.
Roma therefore receives competition from the Netherlands, but Romano does not reveal which club that is. Due to Sávio’s disappointing performance at PSV, it does not seem that the people of Eindhoven are among the candidates. The left leg only came into action eight times for PSV’s main force. In just 150 minutes of play, the Brazilian managed to deliver two assists. On behalf of Jong PSV, Sávio scored two goals and the same number of assists in nine games.
Roma has according to La Gazzetta dello Sport in any case contacted Troyes, where the right winger is fixed until mid-2027. In addition to Sávio, Wilfried Zaha (free transfer) and Gianluca Scamacca (West Ham United) are high on the list in the Italian capital. However, Zaha is enjoying a lot of interest from clubs around the world, while Scamacca is the most expensive option of the three forwards. The Italian only seems to come into the picture when Tammy Abraham leaves Rome. Mourinho is mainly looking for reinforcements in the forefront next summer.
Sávio is officially a Troyes player, but the City Football Group is considering selling him permanently. The Brazilian was taken over from Atlético Mineiro for 6.5 million euros in July last year, after which he was immediately parked in the Philips Stadium. Sávio is still in good shape in his home country, despite his disappointing loan to PSV. During the World Cup Under 20 Brazil managed to reach the quarter finals last month. Sávio scored one goal and three assists in five games.
