Tottenham Push For Savinho With €50m Bid As Man City Hold Firm

Tottenham have made a €50 million offer for Savinho. Manchester City are open to talks but want a higher fee. The Brazilian winger is interested in the move, and discussions are ongoing. Reports indicate that Savinho is open to the move if both clubs can agree on a fee.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Tottenham are trying to sign 21-year-old Savinho from Manchester City. They made an offer of around €50 million. Talks are ongoing, but City will only sell if their conditions are met. Reports say they want more than £50 million. Savinho appeared in 48 matches for City last season, scoring three goals and playing a supporting role.

WHY TOTTENHAM WANT HIM

Tottenham want Savinho to increase their attacking speed and width. They already signed Mohammed Kudus but still need another winger due to injuries affecting their squad and James Maddison, who had an ACL injury and will be out for the bigger part of next season. The timing is good because City are busy with other transfers. Still, City prefer to keep Savinho unless a stronger offer arrives and they have a plan to replace him. Tottenham aim to add speed and creativity to their team by securing Savinho’s signature.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

City see Savinho as important after his arrival from Girona last season, where he helped the team qualify for the Champions League. He also had eight assists in the Premier League last season. City have brought in Rayan Cherki, but selling Savinho would depend on the fee and timing. Guardiola usually doesn’t stop players from leaving if both parties agree.

FORM AND STANDINGS CONTEXT

Both Tottenham and Manchester City have qualified for the Champions League. City finished 3rd and will want to fight for the title, while Tottenham want to close the gap to the top since they only qualified by winning the Europa League, as they finished 17th in the Premier League. Savinho’s skills in pressing, carrying the ball, and creating chances fit well with Tottenham’s game. City want to keep depth in their squad, and they are assessing interest in other players before finalizing any sales.

WHAT NEXT?

Talks will continue this week. Spurs might improve their bid to meet City’s asking price, which is above £50 million. If Savinho wants the move, City might agree if their conditions are met. Spurs will move forward with their preseason and early matches while trying to complete their team before the transfer window closes. City will look for options in the market or within their squad if they decide to sell Savinho.
