Savarino mulls Fluminense offer, lawyer in Rio to decide future | OneFootball

The negotiation involving Savarino’s transfer from Botafogo to Fluminense now depends exclusively on the player's approval. Although the boards of both clubs have already agreed on the terms of the deal, the Venezuelan forward has yet to formalize his response, keeping the outcome of the transaction open.

To try to unlock the situation, an Argentine lawyer trusted by the player arrived in Rio de Janeiro from São Paulo. Since Savarino does not have an agent and manages his own career, the presence of the legal consultant is seen as decisive for the final analysis of the proposal. The hesitation of the number 10 involves factors that go beyond the sporting field, also weighing family and personal routine issues.

According to the agreement negotiated between the clubs, Fluminense offered the player a salary increase. In return, Botafogo would receive financial compensation (amount undisclosed) and the permanent transfer of midfielder Wallace Davi, an 18-year-old prospect from Fluminense’s youth academy.

Routine maintained

While the deal is not finalized, Savarino continues to follow his professional routine at Botafogo. The player reported back last Wednesday and is undergoing physical conditioning at Espaço Lonier. He missed the first days of preseason due to logistical issues leaving Venezuela, resulting from the recent geopolitical crisis involving the United States.

Botafogo has not set a deadline for a response, but is awaiting a decision in order to plan its squad, as is Fluminense, which sees the signing as on track, depending only on the player’s “yes.”
