Savinho tells Man City he wants Tottenham as Spurs prepare £70m-plus bid

Tottenham Hotspur are expected to accelerate their move for Savinho, with the club now prepared to meet Manchester City's asking price for the Brazilian winger.

After weeks of slow progress, the transfer is gathering momentum again, with Spurs reportedly keen to finalise the deal as quickly as possible rather than allowing negotiations to drag towards Deadline Day.

Reports from Brazil claim Tottenham are now preparing to satisfy Manchester City's financial demands for Savinho.

Although the exact figure has not been disclosed, the proposed transfer is expected to comfortably exceed £70 million (€81m).

Spurs are understood to be pushing to complete the deal within the coming days as they step up plans to strengthen Roberto De Zerbi's attacking options.

The biggest boost for Tottenham comes from the player's stance.

According to reports, Savinho has informed both Enzo Maresca and Manchester City's hierarchy that he wants to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer.

Despite impressing during pre-season following Maresca's arrival, the 22-year-old has not changed his mind about seeking a move.

The Brazilian is also understood to have held multiple conversations with De Zerbi, further strengthening Tottenham's confidence that personal terms will not become an issue.

Manchester City's reluctance to complete the transfer has not been linked to the fee alone.

Reports suggest the Premier League champions want to secure a replacement before sanctioning Savinho's departure.

That requirement is now viewed as one of the final obstacles before the transfer can be completed.

With Tottenham prepared to increase their offer and Savinho fully committed to the move, there is growing confidence that the deal could soon be finalised.

Tottenham are expected to submit an improved proposal that matches Manchester City's valuation. If City secure a replacement, the move could be completed quickly, with Savinho appearing increasingly close to joining Spurs before the transfer window closes.
