Jefferson Savarino

ANALYSIS
Savarino's time with Real Salt Lake has come to an end, having transferred to Botafogo in Brazil for the 2024 season. This is a huge loss for Salt Lake, as the midfielder has been one of their main starters since joining in 2017, registering 134 appearances to go along with 37 goals on 359 shots and 26 assists on 229 chances created across those five seasons of play. He should come into Botafogo earning minutes immediately, as the 27-year-old still provides a lot on the field as a playmaker. As for Real Salt Lake, they will now have an extra international roster spot to fill, but they will want to use that wisely, as they will have to replace one of the club's best players over the past five years.
