Tottenham Hotspur have officially opened direct club-to-club negotiations with Manchester City over the signing of Brazilian winger Savinho, with the player reportedly open to the move if both clubs can agree on a transfer fee. This development comes as Spurs look to strengthen their attack following the departure of Heung-min Son to LAFC and the long-term injury setback to playmaker James Maddison.
Sources close to the deal reveal that Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has identified Savinho as an ideal addition for this transfer window, viewing him as a dynamic wide forward capable of adding pace, creativity, and a consistent goal threat. Savinho, who joined Manchester City in July 2024 for around €40 million after a stellar loan spell at Girona where he scored 9 goals and provided 10 assists, has continued to impress at the Etihad with 3 goals and 11 assists in 48 appearances last season. His current market value is estimated at around €50 million, and his contract with City runs until 2029.
From Savinho’s perspective, the move to Spurs offers the prospect of a more prominent attacking role and guaranteed minutes—something that may be harder to secure at City given the depth of Pep Guardiola’s squad, which includes the likes of Phil Foden, Jérémy Doku, and Rayan Cherki. While Guardiola is said to admire the Brazilian’s talent, Manchester City’s abundance of offensive options and their ongoing squad balance strategy could see them accept a sale if Tottenham meet their valuation.
The negotiations are ongoing, with optimism growing in the Spurs camp. For City, the decision will hinge on financial considerations, future squad planning, and Guardiola’s willingness to part ways with a promising talent. Meanwhile, Tottenham fans are already debating the potential deal, with many seeing Savinho as the perfect blend of youth, skill, and experience to inject fresh energy into the team’s frontline.
Do you think Savinho would shine in North London under Thomas Frank’s system, or should City hold on to him for the future? Drop your thoughts in the comments and follow up for more transfer updates from this summer window.
