Rio de Janeiro, 15 Mar Botafogo, who will play in the second division of Brazilian football this year, announced Tuesday the signing of Argentine full-back Renzo Saravia, who was without a club after leaving Portuguese Porto. “Saravia is from 'Fogão'. The Argentine winger is another contract from Botafogo. Welcome to the 'Glorioso'. #VamosBotafogo “, wrote the Rio de Janeiro club on its Twitter profile. Saravia, 28, who previously defended the Porto Alegre International in Brazil, was in Rio de Janeiro training in particular after leaving Porto for various injuries. The contract with Botafogo will be for one year, with the possibility of renewal subject to physical performance during the season, a condition that was initially questioned by its representatives, but on which an agreement was reached on Tuesday. The former player of Belgrano de Córdoba and Racing de Avellaneda in his country is the third reinforcement to reach Botafogo since the American businessman John Textor joined the club as an investor. The defender Philipe Sampaio, who arrives from the French EA Guingamp, and the creative Lucas Piazón, from Portuguese Braga, were the first reinforcements announced by the team that will lead Portuguese coach Luis Castro, who last weekend officially left Al Duhail in Qatar.
