Spurs considering potential acquisition of Savinho
Tottenham Hotspur Target Brazilian Winger Savinho
Savinho, a 21-year-old Brazil international winger, has expressed a strong interest in joining Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window. Reports suggest that the player has already given a positive indication to Spurs, with sources from Brazil stating that he has "already said ‘yes’" to Tottenham [2].
The potential offer for Savinho was communicated to Tottenham Hotspur by intermediaries, and Graeme Bailey, the club's technical director, mentioned that Savinho is a player that Tottenham have shown interest in [1]. If Savinho were to become available, he could be an interesting option for Tottenham, as Bailey's statement implies.
However, Manchester City, Savinho's current club, does not seem eager to sell him easily. Pep Guardiola, the City manager, has publicly stated that he hopes Savinho will stay at Manchester City "for many, many years," emphasizing that the final decision will depend on the player’s own desires and agreement between clubs [1]. The asking price from City is reportedly around £43 million or more, reflecting their valuation of the 21-year-old’s potential [4].
Tottenham Hotspur are looking for a new attacking player due to Son Heung-min leaving for Los Angeles FC and James Maddison's unavailability for the majority of next season. The conversation about Savinho as a potential transfer for Tottenham Hotspur was first reported by TBR, as stated by Graeme Bailey [5].
Savinho joined Manchester City from Troyes in 2024 and plays as a winger. His agent recently traveled to England to accelerate transfer talks, underscoring the player's desire to make the move [3]. However, Graeme Bailey did not provide any new details about whether Savinho is open to a move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as that was already mentioned earlier.

Savinho's potential move to Tottenham Hotspur could be an exciting addition to the European leagues, especially the Premier League, as he has shown interest in joining the club during the summer transfer window. Despite Manchester City's reluctance to sell him, Tottenham Hotspur may still pursue Savinho, given their need for a new attacking player with Son Heung-min's departure and James Maddison's unavailability next season.
