Barca Open Transfer Talks With Girona Wonderkid Savinho 

Barcelona has reached out to Girona’s Savinho, a winger, in anticipation of a possible 2024 transfer, as Xavi continues to press for more offensive support.

According to SPORT, the 19-year-old has made a huge impact at Girona since joining the club on loan from Troyes, having scored four goals and provided as many assists in 15 La Liga appearances. His performances have helped Girona embark on a brilliant run of form that has seen them rise to second in the Liga table, tied on points with leaders Real Madrid. Barcelona sporting director Deco is known to be an admirer of Savinho, and is now reportedly in touch with the player’s representatives as the club plot a summer move for him.

The Catalan giants are currently fourth in the league, four points behind Girona and their bitter rivals Real Madrid, after not having had the best of openings to their title defence. They have already scheduled the arrival of Vitor Roque, another promising Brazilian, who will arrive Barcelona later this month before officially registering. They are looking for a goalscorer. Still, Deco is currently speaking with Savinho’s agents because Xavi wants more talent on the left wing.

The 19-year-old Girona sensation began his professional career at Atletico Mineiro before moving to Troyes. He is still under contract at the French outfit until 2027, but it will be difficult for them to turn down any big-money bid from Barcelona next year.

Savinho will continue to concentrate on his duties at Girona for the time being. Girona will play Orihuela in the Copa del Rey second round. The teenager will then get the opportunity to face off against his possible suitors on December 10, when Barcelona hosts Girona in La Liga.
