Roma steal a march on Benfica in race for Primeira Liga winger | OneFootball

Noah Saviolo, a winger for Vitória de Guimarães, remains on Benfica’s radar as the club looks to strengthen its attack next season, but in recent hours it has been Roma who have emerged strongly in the race for the Portugal Under-21 international. The Italian club have made a concrete move and gained a significant advantage in negotiations for the player.

According to information gathered in Italy, the giallorossi have put forward an offer considered very attractive by Vitória’s SAD. The deal includes a fixed fee close to €10 million, plus add-ons that could increase the financial return for the Minho club.

In addition, the club managed by Gian Piero Gasperini is also willing to leave a percentage of the player’s future sale, a scenario that appeals to Vitória at a time when the player continues to rise in value on the international market.

Despite the Italian advance, the process is not yet closed. Benfica remain attentive to the winger’s situation, but Roma’s strong move has changed the picture and put the Serie A club at the front of the queue to sign the player. At this point, the Italian club appears to be the most likely destination.

This season, playing for Vitória de Guimarães, Noah Saviolo - valued at €2 million - has made 35 appearances: 29 in the Portuguese league, three in the Portuguese Cup and three in the League Cup. In the 2,286 minutes he has been on the pitch, he has recorded two goals and five assists.
