Trabzonspor nears Noah Saviolo transfer, outbidding Benfica and Roma

Trabzonspor is nearing the final stages of signing Noah Saviolo from Vitoria Guimaraes, according to Portuguese media outlet Record. The Turkish club has reportedly reached a broad agreement with the Portuguese side for the 22-year-old attacking player.

Trabzonspor is prepared to pay a transfer fee of approximately 11.5 million Euros for Saviolo. The deal is also said to include a clause for a 15% sell-on fee for Vitoria Guimaraes.

The young talent has attracted interest from several European clubs, including Benfica and Roma. Reports suggest that Roma made an offer of 9 million Euros in guaranteed fees plus 3 million Euros in bonuses. However, Trabzonspor appears to have made the most significant move in the transfer race, positioning themselves ahead of their competitors.

Saviolo, born on March 7, 2004, is 1.81 meters tall and primarily plays on the left wing. He has a right foot and previously played in the youth systems of Anderlecht and Lille before joining Vitoria Guimaraes. He has a contract with the Portuguese club until 2028. This season, Saviolo has contributed two goals and four assists in 1,959 minutes of play in the Liga Portugal for Vitoria Guimaraes, receiving two yellow cards.
