Yardbarker: SoccerTottenham close to signing Savinho from Manchester City for £55-60m
Tottenham Hotspur are on the verge of signing Manchester City winger Savinho for an estimated £55-60 million, according to insider Paul O'Keefe. The 22-year-old Brazilian international has become the club's top priority as newly appointed manager Roberto De Zerbi seeks to rebuild an underperforming frontline after consecutive 17th-place Premier League finishes. Savinho's minutes were limited at City following the arrival of Antoine Semenyo, prompting him to seek regular first-team football. The deal, reported as near completion by Fabrizio Romano, would represent a major investment for Spurs, approaching the club-record fee paid for Dominic Solanke in 2024. Tottenham have already signed Andy Robertson on a free transfer and secured Marcos Senesi, signaling strong backing for De Zerbi's rebuild.

Manchester City's Brazilian winger Savinho, aged 22, is on the verge of leaving the club, with Tottenham Hotspur emerging as the likely destination. Despite a strong performance at Girona, Savinho has failed to secure a starting role under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Last summer, a move to Tottenham was blocked by Guardiola, but this season's lack of minutes has solidified Savinho's desire to leave for regular playing time. Missing the World Cup due to his bench role has further motivated his departure. English media report advanced negotiations and a near-complete agreement on personal terms, including a salary increase. The transfer fee is expected to be around 60 million euros, with only the final agreement between clubs pending.
