They met in Racing and Atlético Mineiro brings them back together: Edward Coudet will direct Renzo Saravia in the Brazilian team, who hires the full-back with a free pass after passing through Botafogo. The agreement is already worded and still needs to be formalized.
Thus, the former Belgrano joins Cristian Pavón and Matías Zaracho, another with a past in the Academy, in the Chacho squad. The first objective is the preliminary phase of the Copa Libertadores: on the 22nd of this month the Galo faces Carabobo from Venezuela.
Saravia in Botafogo played 29 games and gave two assists. He was a starter until an injury relegated him to the consideration of coach Luís Castro.
In 2019, Racing sold Saravia to Porto de Portugal for 5,500,000 euros, but the footballer could not establish himself as a starter and was loaned to Inter de Porto Alegre. Until then, he held high regard for coach Lionel Scaloni, who used him in nine games and even at the 2019 Copa América.
Saravia in Racing won the 2019 Super League with DT’s Chacho. In 2020, a cruciate ligament tear affected his career.
