Scout report

Solid contributorAttacking midfielder

J. Savarino is a 29-year-old attacking midfielder at Botafogo, rated 50.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 161st of 413 on scout potential in the Serie A. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (77.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.32 goal contributions per 90 (0.19 goals, 0.14 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Savarino.

Judged on this season alone, Savarino graded 33 — a strong campaign that ranks top 22% of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A, on 4 goals and 3 assists in 27 appearances (0.324 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 42 → 33). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 51, 25th of 57 of the 57 attacking midfielders in the Serie A. At 29 Savarino is in his prime years, and a market index of 14.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Savarino missed 10 games through injury (inactive, hamstring, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 27 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
