Savio Completes Bordeaux Move

Bordeaux have completed the loan signing of Brazilian winger Savio from Real Madrid.

The Spaniards are keen to trim their squad, and Savio was one of those surplus to requirements. The French side, meanwhile, moved for the player after off-loading striker Christian to Galatasaray for a year.

Bordeaux will pay Savio's wages for a season and Real will get a transfer fee if he is offered a new deal at the end of the campaign.
