Barcelona open transfer talks with Girona sensation Savinho after Xavi puts in request for extra attacking reinforcements amid goal-shy start to 2023-24 campaign

The 19-year-old has made a huge impact at Girona since joining the club on loan from Troyes, having scored four goals and provided as many assists in 15 La Liga appearances. His performances have helped Girona embark on a brilliant run of form that has seen them rise to second in the Liga table, tied on points with leaders Real Madrid. Barcelona sporting director Deco is known to be an admirer of Savinho, and is now reportedly in touch with the player's representatives as the club plot a summer move for him, according to <a href="https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/savinho-objetivo-barca-2024-95516486" target="_blank">SPORT</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Catalan giants have not enjoyed the brightest of starts to their title-defence, as they find themselves third in the league, four points behind Girona and their arch-rivals Real Madrid. In search of a goalscorer, they have already lined up the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/vitor-roque-date-set-brazilian-teenager-join-barcelona-athletico-paranaense/blt699a19975d74d4bf#cs694de2163ca20b5b" target="_blank">arrival of another Brazilian youngster</a>, Vitor Roque, who will travel to Barcelona later this month ahead of his official registration. Xavi still wants more quality on the left flank, though, which is why Deco is now sounding out Savinho's representatives.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The 19-year-old Girona sensation began his professional career at Atletico Mineiro before moving to Troyes. He is still under contract at the French outfit until 2027, but it will be difficult for them to turn down any big-money bid from Barcelona next year.

DID YOU KNOW?

For now, Savinho will continue to focus on his duties at Girona, who will next face Orihuela in the second round of the Copa del Rey. The teenager will then have the chance to come up against his potential suitors, with Barcelona set to host Girona in La Liga on December 10.
