Barça wants to 'fish' for a young star in the Brasileirao again, just like it did previously with Vitor Roque. On this occasion, the player in question is the Paraguayan Matías Segovia from Botafogo, a midfielder who has been on the culé radar for some time now
The FC Barcelona is carrying out an excellent management regarding the incorporation of juvenile players. Up to now, they have fichado to Vitor Roque, one of the promises more codiciadas to world-wide level, as well as to Mika Faye, a talentoso central defender with a big physical fortress. Recently, also it has known the acquisition of Noah Darvich, a 'jewel' German. Now, the Barça has put his attention in a 'perla' of the Paraguayan football: Matías Segovia.
'Mati', of 20 years, plays in the Botafogo, leader of the Brasileirao, and has turned into one of the feelings of the team, even is considered one of the most stood out talents of the club. In the season 2022/2023, has contested 21 parties between the Guaraní and the Botafogo, registering three assistances but without marking goals. However, further of the statistics, what seduces to the fans of the 'Glorious Albinegro' of 'Segovinha', as they call it, is his style of showy game, his skill with the left foot and his talent. These qualities have positioned it like one of the talents to be followed in Europe. In fact, from the square of the Catalan capital, have been following to the Paraguayan from the World-wide Sub-17 in Brazil in 2019, when his combined national arrived until the quarter-finals of this contest.
The Barça does not lose of sight to Segovia
For now, the FC Barcelona continues observing closely to this promising player, although they recognise that physically still has to improve, since it measures only 163 centimetres and weighs 54 kilograms. The department of 'scouting' of the Barça is slope of his evolution so much in the sportive appearance as in the physicist.
However, the possible transaction of Matías Segovia to the City Condal could see conditioned by the fact that Durcesio Mello, president of the Botafogo, has business bonds with the Lyon and Crystal Palace, clubs that also have in his diary to the midfield player. It seems that this connection could influence in the decision to transfer to a player that has turned into one of the favourites of the fans of the 'Crash Solitary', in spite of have not marked still a goal with the T-shirt of the leader of the Brasileirao.
