Fabrizio Romano believes the Man City winger has a “very, very good” chance of joining Tottenham before the summer transfer window closes.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has provided a major update regarding Tottenham Hotspur‘s pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho, stating that the 22-year-old Brazilian has an exceptionally strong chance of making the move to North London before the summer window closes.
Speaking on his official YouTube channel and shared by fan outlet Last Word On Spurs on X, Romano expressed complete confidence in the trajectory of negotiations between the two Premier League clubs. He said:
“I think at the end of the [summer] transfer window, Savinho has very very good chances to join Tottenham [Hotspur]. I don’t expect any surprises here.”
Personal Terms Agreed as Savinho Pushes for Etihad Exit
Romano reaffirmed that personal terms between Savinho and Tottenham are already fully agreed. The Brazilian international has formally requested a transfer from Manchester City after growing frustrated with limited starting opportunities under Pep Guardiola and Enzo Maresca.
Savinho views a move to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as a crucial step to reignite his club career and secure guaranteed first-team minutes ahead of the international calendar. His desire to work directly under newly appointed head coach Roberto De Zerbi has sped up internal discussions, leaving the player focused exclusively on finalizing his arrival in London.
Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi has made restructuring Spurs’ frontline his top remaining priority for the transfer window. Having already bolstered the defensive and midfield departments with marquee additions such as Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Jan Paul van Hecke, De Zerbi has instructed recruitment officials to secure dynamic wide attackers.
De Zerbi considers Savinho’s elite dribbling ability, 1-v-1 isolation skills, and press resistance on the right flank as vital ingredients for his possession-based tactical system. Tottenham’s recruitment staff have tracked Savinho for over twelve months, and De Zerbi’s direct endorsement has turned long-standing interest into a concrete, prioritized offer.
While personal terms pose no obstacle, Tottenham and Manchester City continue to iron out the final financial package. Talks between the clubs center around a £60 million valuation. City hierarchy are open to sanctioning the transfer provided their minimum financial conditions are satisfied.
In a clear signal that the transfer is advancing, Manchester City have begun scouting replacement targets in wide areas. Reports indicate City have inquired about Chelsea winger Pedro Neto as a direct successor to Savinho’s slot in their squad. With all parties aligned on the intended outcome, Tottenham fans can expect progress in the coming days as the club looks to finalize De Zerbi’s attack before the Premier League season gets underway.
