Savarino accepts Fluminense offer, awaits return to Brazil to seal deal | OneFootball

Fluminense is very close to finalizing a signing directly from a rival team in Rio. According to information gathered by journalist Venê Casagrande, forward Savarino has already accepted the tricolor's offer and is expected to switch from Botafogo to the Team of Warriors in this transfer window.

According to the investigation, the deal is practically closed behind the scenes, with only the player's return to Brazil needed for the definitive "ok." "The information we have is that the deal is done. Just waiting for Savarino to return to give the ok," revealed Venê.

To convince the Venezuelan to "jump the fence," Fluminense offered advantageous conditions. While his current contract with the Alvinegro has two more years remaining, the tricolor's offer guarantees a longer contract, of at least four years, along with a salary increase.

Staying in Rio de Janeiro and the competitiveness of the squad were factors that weighed in the athlete's decision. "For him, it's wonderful. He will continue in Brazilian football, get a salary increase, join a team that will compete in the Libertadores as well, and he remains in Rio de Janeiro," analyzed the journalist.

The move is seen behind the scenes as a market "counterattack," strengthening Fluminense's offensive sector with a prominent name and weakening a direct competitor.
