Tottenham are closing in on a €100m deal for Manchester City winger Savinho as Roberto De Zerbi’s top attacking target.
Tottenham Hotspur are nearing a major breakthrough in their pursuit of Brazilian winger Savinho, with a total transfer package valued at €100 million close to being finalized.
According to reports from Brazilian outlet ge globo and journalist Cahê Mota, as shared by Spurs Zone on X, North London decision-makers have made significant progress toward securing Roberto De Zerbi’s primary wide target.
The negotiated financial package consists of a fixed fee of €93.3 million alongside €5.7 million in prospective performance-related bonuses.
This massive financial commitment underlines Tottenham’s determination to deliver top-tier attacking talent to De Zerbi before the summer window closes. The agreement represents a landmark deal in Spurs’ summer spending plan as they seek to rebuild their squad for domestic and European competition.
This blockbuster move builds directly upon an expansive summer overhaul managed by sporting director Johan Lange, who has already committed over £230 million on squad upgrades. Having already secured three defenders, two midfielders including Sandro Tonali, and a new goalkeeper, Savinho’s arrival provides the elite flair and direct one-on-one dribbling capability De Zerbi has demanded to complement playmaker James Maddison in transition.
Impact on De Zerbi’s Frontline Rebuild
Securing Savinho fulfills a crucial priority for De Zerbi, who has consistently called for decisive additions in wide attacking positions.
With negotiations for Savinho entering advanced stages, Tottenham have successfully pushed forward on their primary target, potentially reducing the immediate need to activate backup options such as Chelsea winger Pedro Neto. Completing this marquee transfer gives Spurs an elite dribbler and direct threat on the flank to lead their reshaped attack.
While Pedro Neto served as the primary fallback option had the Savinho deal collapsed, Spurs remain attentive to opportunities for Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo alongside their ongoing search for a conventional centre-forward to complete a fully revamped attacking unit.
