Fluminense sign attacking midfielder Jefferson Savarino until 2029 | OneFootball

Fluminense officially announced this Thursday (22) the signing of Jefferson Savarino. The Venezuelan national team attacking midfielder, who played for Botafogo last season, was at CT Carlos Castilho to undergo medical exams and signed a permanent contract with the Tricolor until the end of 2029.

The negotiations for Savarino were marked by back-and-forth over the past few weeks. Despite an initial financial agreement between Fluminense and Botafogo, the deal was considered closed internally at Laranjeiras due to the delay in a definitive response from the player, who was evaluating the move together with his family.

The situation changed in recent days after Savarino himself resumed contact with Fluminense’s management and informed Botafogo of his agreement with Fluminense. The alvinegro club, which had already shown interest in reducing its payroll, facilitated the release, and the deal was finalized last Wednesday (21).

Successful career

Savarino, 29, was developed by Zulia (Venezuela) and has played for Real Salt Lake (USA) and Atlético-MG, where he enjoyed a successful spell between 2020 and 2022. On his résumé, the player boasts major titles such as a Libertadores, two Brazilian Championships, a Copa do Brasil, and a Supercopa do Brasil, in addition to frequent call-ups to his national team.
