Former Real Salt Lake star Jefferson Savarino has been a key offensive contributor for his new club
One of Real Salt Lake’s best exports is beginning to produce goals and assists on a consistent basis in Brazil’s top flight. Venezuelan Jefferson Savarino has three goals and two assists in his last five appearances for Atletico Mineiro. The former RSL winger joined the Brazilian club after the conclusion of the 2019 Major League Soccer season.
Picking up the pace
Savarino appears to have adjusted to playing in Brazil quite well.
