Savinho

This journalist Rik Elfrink just tweeted: Sávio himself would love to return to PSV, sources around the player confirm. He was happy in Eindhoven. A decision will follow soon, probably in the middle of next week. Rent with option to buy is the idea. City Group is now the owner. Many clubs interested.

"Renzo Miguel Orihuela Barcos - ... Right footed CB, can't say I've even seen his name before.

Ha, found another one currently at the CYA - Vinicius Souza, Brazilian, identifies himself as a City player on his instagram - [a newspaper article claims CFG owns 60% of him], Lommel property who spent last season loaned out to Espanyol in La Liga [34 apps], just turned 24, 6 foot 2 inch DM/defender - there are a few highlight vids on YT - transfer buzz to Celtic and Wolves in the past
 
The article is behind a digital wall of some sort, but found this over at r/soccer: PSV want Troyes' Sávio on loan with option to buy, and will have to get through Man City's City Group to sign him. City Group is demanding 15mil for 85% of the transferrights, which would be PSVs record purchase, or 12mil for 70% of the transferrights

edit ... somebody on twitter claims: Savio wants to take a look at the future with City next week. Player sees a future for himself in Eindhoven but does not want to give up on Man City's dream just yet. There is a good chance that he will be seen again in Eindhoven.

fwiw, there's fresh buzz on twitter that Savio is headed to Girona FC, and he put up an insta story apparently boarding a plane ... so he's a keeper it looks like, sharks didn't get him

edit: Fabrizio the tap in merchant has confirmed it

Girona played a friendly at a small nearby club in Spain. Savio started and diff reports said he was eye-catching, stood out in a poor 1st half where they trailed 1-2. Girona won 4-2 in the end. Think the entire squad was swapped at HT.
 
Savio started in a friendly vs Andorra FC, LaLiga2 side, 2-2 draw. No highlights yet. Saw some Savio highlights from their first friendly - reminded me of his performances in the U20 WC. Barca wizkid Torre been playing the left, Savio on the right - trading diagonals and switches to each other. Doing fine and getting PT.
 
Girona just beat Sheffield United at CFA 2-0. Savio started at RW and played every minute. Scored the 1st, and the 2nd came off his right-footed clipped cross to the back post. I watched the 2nd half and luckily saw both goals. Defensively PSV did an excellent job creating a responsible winger who gets back and helps, even chases counters - love this, nutz for a Brazilian kid. But going forward was sometimes flowing and dangerous and other times stuttering and selfish. His lack of movement is kinda painful to watch, just sorta stands wide and presents a target if the build-up needs it - even Pablo Torre seemed to be encouraging him to mix it up more during a dead ball. But he did go the full 90m, which he hasn't done much for the last coupla years. Another thing ... he's 4 mos younger than Kian Breckin ... so he's got stuff to learn yet.

Girona just beat Blackburn Rovers 3-2. Didn't watch, few details yet ... Savio started and played well into the 2nd half tho, got the assist on the 2nd Girona goal off a driving run from the RW. The Blackburn match report called Savio 'lively.' Barca loanee Pablo Torres left early in the match after a knee injury ... looked like a knock tho, not too bad, icebags should fix it. Think Torres should be a good influence on Savio, so hope he returns to action quickly. Back to Spain for Girona FC.
