Spurs reported to have agreed £75 million deal for City's Savinho

Spurs reported to have agreed £75 million deal for City's Savinho

Manchester City has agreed to a club-record sale of Brazil winger Savinho to Tottenham for a deal worth 85 million pounds ($115 million). This makes the transaction a club-record sale for City, according to a person familiar with the deal. Savinho joined City in 2024 from his sister club Troyes for 40 million euros ($43.6 million).

However, he failed to meet the expectations as a potential star of the future, scoring only two goals in 53 Premier League appearances. City's coach Enzo Maresca revealed that Savinho had been expressing his desire to leave since the beginning. Since then, City has made several other high-profile sales, including Rodri to Barcelona, Tijjani Reijnders, Nathan Ake, John Stones, and Bernardo Silva.

The club is expected to be active in the final week of the summer transfer window, reshaping the squad for the upcoming season. Savinho's departure comes days after Tottenham made a series of high-profile signings, including Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke, Marco Senesi, and Andy Robertson.
