- Savinho is open to leaving Manchester City, with Tottenham his preferred destination
- Roberto de Zerbi has identified the Brazil international as a key target in his first transfer window as Spurs head coach
- Tottenham approached City for Savinho last summer, but the Etihad club refused to sell at that stage
- Manchester City signed the winger from sister club Troyes for £30.8m in July 2024 and handed him a two-year extension last October, tying him to the club until 2031
- The Brazilian's game time fell from 48 appearances (3 goals) in his first season to 36 in Guardiola's final campaign, as Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo increased competition on the right flank
Why it matters: City hold the leverage — Savinho's two-year extension last October runs until 2031, so any move requires their consent. For Tottenham, landing a 22-year-old Brazil international with Premier League pedigree would be a marquee statement under new head coach De Zerbi, while City recoup value on a £30.8m asset bought in 2024.
