Savinho is reportedly pushing for a move to Tottenham Hotspur as Roberto De Zerbi looks to strengthen his attacking options before the transfer window closes.
Brazilian winger Savinho is actively putting pressure on Manchester City to sanction a £60 million move to Tottenham Hotspur as he searches for consistent first-team football ahead of the new season.
According to reports originating from journalist Jake Sanders and shared by Tottenham Transfer News on X, the 22-year-old attacker has made his transfer preferences clear to the City hierarchy. Having struggled to secure regular starts under manager Enzo Maresca amidst intense competition at the Etihad Stadium, Savinho views a move to North London as the ideal opportunity to establish himself as a premier wide threat.
De Zerbi’s Attacking Rebuild Demands Wide Quality
Tottenham head coach Roberto De Zerbi has made comprehensive squad reconstruction a top priority this summer following significant financial backing from the Spurs board. The Italian manager has already overseen high-profile arrivals like Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Jan Paul van Hecke, but he continues to emphasize that additional explosive pace in wide areas remains non-negotiable.
De Zerbi views Savinho’s direct dribbling, press resistance, and tactical flexibility across both flanks as an ideal fit for his possession-based attacking blueprint. Spurs recruitment officials have long monitored the former Girona star, and the current transfer window presents their strongest opportunity yet to finalize a deal.
While Manchester City originally held out for a higher valuation, ongoing discussions between the two Premier League clubs have settled around a structured £60 million package. City officials are willing to grant the transfer provided their valuation is met, allowing them to reallocate funds toward their own squad adjustments.
Savinho’s insistence on securing a starting role in London has accelerated talks between both camps. Should final terms be agreed upon in the coming days, the Brazilian forward will become the cornerstone piece of Tottenham’s reshaped frontline under De Zerbi.
