The transfer saga surrounding Manchester City’s Brazilian winger, Savinho, has officially reignited. After a failed attempt to bring the 22-year-old to North London last summer, Tottenham have reopened negotiations to secure his signature ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.
The Current Situation
Reactivated Talks: Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Tottenham have formally reactivated discussions with Manchester City regarding a potential transfer.
Player's Stance: Savinho is reportedly very open to the move to Tottenham. Sources indicate he is keen on the prospect of securing more consistent playing time and is particularly attracted to the opportunity to work under new manager Roberto De Zerbi.
Manchester City's Position: Following a difficult 2025/26 season for the winger, reports suggest that Manchester City has informed Savinho he is free to leave the club this summer.
The Valuation: Tottenham are reportedly prepared to pay in the region of £60 million to bring the Brazilian to the club, an investment that could see them break their existing transfer record.
Why Tottenham?
Spurs are looking to overhaul their squad after two challenging campaigns. Recruitment teams view Savinho’s directness, creativity, and ability to operate across multiple attacking positions as the perfect fit for De Zerbi’s evolving tactical plans at the club.
While there is reported interest from other clubs, including Newcastle United, Tottenham are acting decisively to make a breakthrough in club-to-club talks.
