Tottenham Open Talks to Snap Up Man City’s Brazilian Star Savinho
Looks like Tottenham Hotspur are knocking on Manchester City’s door and it’s not for a cup of sugar. Spurs have opened talks to sign Brazilian winger Savinho, with negotiations quietly bubbling away in recent days.
The 21-year-old, who became a Pep Guardiola regular last season, is attracting serious attention from North London. But here’s the catch: City aren’t exactly putting the “For Sale” sign up.
Sources suggest the Premier League champions would only even consider cashing in if an offer north of £50m lands on their desk. Considering they brought him in from Troyes for £30.8m just last year, that would be quite the quick profit.

Savinho clocked up 48 appearances across all competitions in 2024-25, scoring three times and showing flashes of the raw pace and flair that made him a hot prospect in Brazil. But with Rayan Cherki arriving from Lyon in a £30m summer deal, Pep’s attacking options just got even more crowded and that might open a small window for Spurs.
Over at Spurs, new boss Thomas Frank is in shopping mode after the club waved goodbye to Son Heung-min, who made a surprise switch to LAFC. The Lilywhites already splashed £55m on Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, but a £60m chase for Nottingham Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White fell through.

The urgency to strengthen has only grown after the devastating news that James Maddison will miss most of the season with an ACL tear picked up in a pre-season friendly against Newcastle in Seoul. Without Maddison pulling the strings, Spurs are desperate for fresh attacking spark and Savinho could be the name to light up their plans.
Whether Manchester City actually let him go is another story entirely, but one thing’s for sure: this is a transfer plot worth keeping an eye on.
