Overview
- Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano has reported that Tottenham are actively working on a move for Manchester City winger Savinho and described the deal as “absolutely on.”
- Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi has publicly identified Savinho as a player the club strongly wants to add to an overhauled squad this summer.
- Media reports place Tottenham’s offer roughly in the £60m–£65m range, a figure sources say is below what Manchester City would prefer for a player under long-term contract.
- Manchester City appear unwilling to green-light a sale until they either find cover for Savinho or receive a higher fee, and a sale could also be used to free transfer funds after heavy summer spending.
- Savinho is 22 and joined City in 2024 after a loan at Girona; he signed a contract through June 2031 which gives City clear leverage in negotiations and helps explain why Spurs say they are prepared to be patient.
