Spurs Escalate Their Pursuit
Tottenham transfer news 2025 took another twist as Fabrizio Romano confirmed Spurs are pushing their bid for Savinho beyond €70m. The Athletic Mineiro academy graduate, now controlled by Manchester City via the CFG network, has emerged as one of Europe’s hottest wide forwards.
Just two days ago, FootballPlace.co.uk reported that Tottenham were preparing an offer in the region of €60–65m. Now, sources suggest Daniel Levy is willing to go further, making Savinho the club’s most expensive signing since Tanguy Ndombele.
Why Spurs Are Going All-In on Savinho
Savinho’s 2024/25 breakout at Girona, with double figures in both goals and assists, convinced Tottenham that he can be the missing piece in Ange Postecoglou’s attack. With Richarlison inconsistent and Brennan Johnson yet to fully convince, Spurs see Savinho as a player who can both stretch defences and carry the ball at speed.
“Confirmed: Tottenham want to go over €70m for Savinho and will try until the end to get the deal done. Savio, keen on Spurs move and now all depends on Manchester City.” — Fabrizio Romano
The Manchester City Factor
The biggest obstacle is City themselves. Under CFG rules, Savinho is technically a City Football Group asset. Pep Guardiola’s side have first refusal on whether to keep him, integrate him, or sell at a profit.
This means Tottenham’s offer is effectively a test of City’s valuation. Do they see Savinho as part of their long-term squad, or will they cash in and allow Spurs to break their transfer record?

The numbers underline his appeal: a creative winger who beats players, creates chances, and delivers end product — exactly the profile Spurs’ attack has lacked.
Analyst Verdict
FootballPlace analyst John William believes Tottenham’s determination to push beyond €70m underlines just how highly they rate Savinho. He explained that Spurs see the Brazilian as a winger capable of transforming their left flank, bringing direct dribbling, pace, and creativity that has been missing in key moments under Thomas Frank.
William added that the player’s keenness to join is equally important, reducing the risk of another drawn-out saga ending in disappointment. He stressed that while Manchester City still hold the cards, Tottenham’s aggressive approach signals intent, and if successful, Savinho could immediately become one of the most influential wide players in the Premier League.
Key Insights
- Fabrizio Romano: Spurs ready to exceed €70m for Savinho
- Player wants the move — keen on Tottenham project
- Manchester City decision will determine deal
- Spurs previously preparing €60–65m offer (22 Aug report)
- Would be Tottenham’s record signing if completed
What’s Next?
Tottenham are expected to maintain contact with both CFG and City throughout the final days of the transfer window. While the player’s camp pushes for North London, Guardiola’s decision could delay clarity until the last week of August.
If Spurs land Savinho, it would be a huge statement of intent. Fail to do so, and they risk being left scrambling late in the market. Either way, this saga is set to dominate the final stretch of the 2025 summer window.
Should Tottenham smash their transfer record to land Savinho — or is the risk too high with Manchester City still holding the cards?
