Spurs are negotiating with Manchester City for Brazilian winger Savinho, with a deal possible if the player requests to leave.

Tottenham Hotspur have opened talks with Manchester City over the signing of Brazilian winger Savinho, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Negotiations between the clubs are ongoing, with sources indicating the deal could cost in excess of £45 million. While City’s preference is to keep the 20-year-old, they would consider a sale if Savinho himself asks to leave.

The player is understood to be open to joining Spurs, provided both clubs can reach an agreement on the transfer fee and personal terms.

City’s Stance on Savinho Exit

Savinho, who has impressed during his time on loan in Europe, remains highly rated at the Etihad.

“Manchester City will only sanction a sale if Savinho asks to leave — their preference is to keep him.” — Ben Jacobs

That puts the ball firmly in the winger’s court as discussions progress.

Analyst Verdict

Savinho’s pace, close control, and creativity from wide areas would give Thomas Frank a new attacking weapon at Spurs. From reviewing his recent games, his ability to stretch defences and deliver precise final balls could add a missing spark to Tottenham’s forward line. The £45m+ fee is significant, but at 20 years old, he represents both an immediate and long-term investment.

Key Insights

  • Tottenham in negotiations with Man City for Savinho.
  • Deal could cost over £45m.
  • City prefer to keep the player unless he requests to leave.
  • Savinho open to Spurs move if clubs agree terms.

What’s Next

Talks are expected to continue this week, with Tottenham pushing to reach an agreement before the Premier League season begins. If Savinho signals his intention to leave City, the move could accelerate quickly.


Should Spurs break the £45m barrier for Savinho — or prioritise other areas of the squad?
