Overview
- Savinho formally informed Manchester City that he wants to leave this summer and has expressed a preference to join Tottenham, according to transfer reports.
- Tottenham have offered a package around £60 million and have told City they want a final answer by the weekend or they will pursue other targets.
- Manchester City retain full control of any move because Savinho signed a long-term extension in October 2025 that ties him to the club for several more years.
- City’s stance is shaped by a desire to secure a replacement or extract a higher fee, and that hold-up has prompted Spurs to line up alternatives such as Antonio Nusa, Cody Gakpo, Rafael Leão and Jadon Sancho.
- The player’s push for regular minutes and Spurs’ near-term deadline mean the next few days will determine whether Savinho moves, stays as squad depth at City, or triggers Tottenham to switch targets.
