Savarino returns to Botafogo amid talks with Fluminense | OneFootball

Savarino reported back to the Botafogo squad on Wednesday morning in Rio de Janeiro. Targeted by Fluminense for the 2026 season, the Venezuelan midfielder returned to Brazil after facing difficulties leaving Venezuela, a country currently experiencing political and diplomatic tensions with the United States.

At the alvinegro training center, Savarino underwent medical exams and physical evaluations alongside the rest of the squad. The player is involved in ongoing negotiations between Botafogo and Fluminense. According to the model discussed so far, Botafogo would receive financial compensation, as well as midfielder Wallace Davi, a product of Xerém, while Fluminense would count on the Venezuelan to strengthen their squad for the next season.

Despite his return, Savarino's future remains uncertain. The decision depends on a meeting between the player and Botafogo's management, which is expected to take place in the coming days, while Fluminense closely monitors the outcome of the situation.
