Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City have reached a fundamental agreement for the transfer of Brazilian winger Savinho, with a deal reportedly valued around £60 million nearing completion.
This significant transfer follows a challenging season for Spurs, where they narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League. Club leadership appears to be strongly backing manager Roberto De Zerbi in the transfer market, aiming to bolster the squad for the upcoming campaign.
The breakthrough in negotiations was shared by a prominent Tottenham insider on X, who indicated that the final stages of the deal are underway. According to the report, a main financial package has been settled, with only minor contract details remaining.
Manchester City was reportedly seeking a fee between £50 million and £60 million, suggesting Tottenham is prepared to meet this valuation to secure De Zerbi’s key targets. Personal terms are also anticipated to be straightforward, as Savinho was reportedly interested in a move to Tottenham last summer before remaining at the Etihad.
If finalized, Savinho would represent De Zerbi’s headline signing for his summer rebuilding project. The Italian manager is keen to inject explosive flair and dynamic dribbling into the team's attack, a characteristic the Brazilian international possesses.
Savinho gained recognition during a successful loan spell with Girona before joining Manchester City, where he demonstrated considerable potential. However, with limited consistent game time under Pep Guardiola last season, the 22-year-old is eager to take on a more prominent role in London.
His arrival is seen as a strong statement of intent from Tottenham, signaling a clear determination to move past last year’s struggles and compete for European qualification spots. The club has already made moves in the transfer market, signing veteran left-back Andy Robertson on a free transfer and expecting to announce the acquisition of Marco Senesi, also on a free transfer.
Furthermore, reports suggest Brighton’s Jan Paul van Hecke has agreed personal terms with Tottenham, and despite previous rejected bids, a deal is anticipated to be reached soon.
