Club career[]

Barcelona[]

Born in Genoa to Ecuadorian parents,[1] Saverio moved to Balzar, Ecuador as an infant, before moving to Barcelona at the age of five.[2] He joined FC Barcelona's La Masia in 2015, from UE Cornellà.[3]

On 12 July 2018, Saverio renewed his contract until 2020, with a release clause of €50 million,[4] being subsequently promoted to the reserves in Segunda División B.[2] He made his senior debut on 26 August of that year, coming on as a second-half substitute for goalscorer Ballou Tabla in a 1–3 loss at CD Alcoyano.[5]

Saverio scored his first senior goal on 29 September 2018, netting the opener in a 2–1 home success over UE Olot.[6] In October, however, he suffered an injury in his left leg, being sidelined for four months.[7]

On 30 June 2020, Saverio left Barça as his contract expired.[8]

Osasuna[]

On 16 September 2020, Saverio signed a three-year contract with CA Osasuna, being initially assigned to the B-team in the third division.[9] He made his debut on 25 October, starting in a 0–2 loss at CD Tudelano.[10]

Saverio made his first team debut on 15 December 2020, starting and scoring his team's fourth in a 6–0 away routing of UD Tomares, for the season's Copa del Rey.[11][12]

Loan to Andorra[]

On 1 February 2021, Saverio joined third tier side FC Andorra on loan until the end of the season.[13]

Loan to Ponferradina[]

On 28 July 2021, Saverio moved to Segunda División side SD Ponferradina on a one-year loan deal.[14] He made his professional debut on 22 August, replacing goalscorer José Naranjo in a 1–0 away win over SD Eibar.[15]

International career[]

Eligible to represent Italy, Ecuador and Spain, Saverio made his debut for the latter's under-19s on 14 November 2017, in a 1–2 loss at Portugal. In 2019, he was called up to the Ecuador under-20 squad for trainings ahead of the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup,[16] but did not make the final squad.
