In a press conference held at the Carlos Castilho Training Center this Friday (30), the Venezuelan spoke about the reasons behind his move to the Tricolor and emphasized that the decision brought him peace.

“What motivated me, first and foremost, was my family’s stability, that was essential. The project that Fluminense presented is very important to me and my career. The peace that this transfer brought to me and my family was very important,” said the midfielder.

The new number 11 of the Team of Warriors also commented on the possibility of starting in the match against Botafogo and stressed that he is at the disposal of coach Luis Zubeldía.

“I don’t know (if I’ll be a starter), but I’ll be ready. Whether I start or am on the bench, I’ll be prepared to help Fluminense. It’s going to be a very tough game, against a rival,” said Savarino.

Given the turbulent negotiations with Flu in recent weeks, the player revealed that the talks were not easy and highlighted his desire to stand out at the club.

“The negotiations never changed, they always continued. It was many days. It wasn’t easy for anyone. I thank Fluminense for the effort they made to bring me here. The president, everyone made a great effort. The most important thing is for me to stay focused, to look ahead, to what I have to do here. At the two clubs I played for, I was very successful. I hope Fluminense will not be an exception,” said the Venezuelan.
