According to ESPN Brazil reporter Bruno Andrade, Tottenham Hotspur is actively pursuing the transfer of Manchester City winger Savinho and is confident of completing the deal within the coming days. Tottenham is inclined to meet Manchester City's £70 million asking price. Manchester City has delayed the sale because they have yet to find a suitable replacement in the transfer market. From the player's perspective, Savinho has made it clear to new Manchester City manager Maresca that he does not wish to stay at the Etihad Stadium, despite participating in preseason preparations. He has also communicated multiple times with Tottenham manager De Zerbi to understand his role. Savinho joined the City Football Group in 2022 and has made 84 appearances for Manchester City, scoring 7 goals and providing 13 assists over two seasons.
