Manchester City winger Savinho, 22, has officially submitted a transfer request to the club, expressing his desire to leave this summer, according to Sky Sports via Hupu. The Brazilian winger communicated his wish for more playing time to advance his career. Tottenham Hotspur has listed Savinho as a top transfer target, having shown long-standing interest. Savinho joined Manchester City from Troyes in 2024 for €25 million, making 39 appearances last season with 5 goals and 3 assists, but playing time fell short of expectations. Other Premier League clubs may also compete for his signature. Manchester City must decide whether to sell and how to reinvest the funds. New head coach Maresca may need to adjust tactics if Savinho departs. A move to Tottenham could offer Savinho more opportunities to develop his game.
