Tottenham Agrees £55 Million Deal for Marmoush; Manchester City Avoids Sell-On Clause
According to English media iNews, Tottenham Hotspur has reached an agreement with Manchester City for Brazilian winger Savinho for £75 million plus £10 million in add-ons, pushing total summer spending over £300 million. Following Savinho, Omar Marmoush is expected to join Tottenham from Manchester City for approximately £55 million, signing a contract until 2031. This fee means Manchester City will not pay Eintracht Frankfurt a 15% sell-on clause, which would only activate if the sale exceeded the £63.4 million they originally paid. Tottenham's aggressive spending follows a near-relegation scare and a squad overhaul under manager De Zerbi, funded by owner ENIC's £100 million injection, an advance TV revenue deal with Macquarie Bank, and non-football revenue from events like NFL games and concerts. Despite poor on-field results, Tottenham's high revenue allows them to outspend rivals under Premier League financial rules.
Romano: Savinho's £5 Million Bonus Easily Achievable, Tottenham Set for £80 Million Deal
Renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on his podcast that Brazilian winger Savinho has arrived in London to complete a medical and sign with Tottenham Hotspur. The transfer is structured as a £75 million base fee plus £10 million in add-ons, with £5 million considered easily achievable, making the effective guaranteed fee £80 million. Savinho's speed and dribbling are expected to bolster Tottenham's wide attack. Additionally, Tottenham is pursuing Omar Marmoush, who has agreed personal terms and is keen to leave Manchester City for more playing time under manager De Zerbi. Marmoush's deal is expected in the coming days. These signings follow Tottenham's heavy summer investment, including Tonali, Fernandes, and Van Hecke, aiming to strengthen the squad for the new season.
Tottenham in Talks with Manchester City for Marmoush, Valued at £65-70 Million
According to talkSPORT chief reporter Alex Crook, Tottenham Hotspur are in active negotiations with Manchester City for striker Omar Marmoush, with a transfer valuation of around £65-70 million. This follows the imminent £85 million signing of Savinho from Manchester City, who is undergoing a medical in London. Tottenham have already spent over £230 million this summer on players including Tonali, Fernandes, and Van Hecke, with Senesi arriving on a free transfer. Head coach Roberto De Zerbi sees Marmoush as the final piece of the puzzle to strengthen a striker position that currently relies on Dominic Solanke and Richarlison. If both Marmoush and Savinho depart, Manchester City will have lost eight first-team players this summer, including Stones, Rodri, and Ake. Tottenham finished 17th in the league for two consecutive seasons and hope these signings will help challenge for European spots.
