Manchester City’s Brazilian winger Savinho is set to complete a long-anticipated transfer to Tottenham Hotspur. The move comes after extensive negotiations throughout the summer transfer window, with Savinho having expressed his desire to leave the Etihad Stadium for some time.
According to reports, Tottenham has reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City to secure Savinho’s services. The north London club will pay a substantial fee exceeding £75 million for the 22-year-old talent, with some sources indicating the transfer could reach £85 million—marking a club record sale for Manchester City. Savinho is expected to travel to London imminently to undergo his medical examination with Spurs.
During his time at Manchester City, Savinho made 84 appearances and contributed seven goals and sixteen assists. However, inconsistent finishing limited his impact, despite demonstrating genuine ability to create chances and beat defenders. His departure represents sound business for City, allowing them to reinvest substantial funds into areas requiring strengthening while removing a player eager for a fresh challenge.
Under Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi, Savinho hopes to fulfill his considerable potential. The winger possesses the technical skills and pace to excel at the highest level, and a move where he can establish himself as a regular starter may provide the platform necessary for his development. The transfer concludes a protracted saga that has dominated headlines throughout the summer.
