Tottenham Hotspur has received a major transfer boost as Manchester City winger Savinho has officially told the club he wants to leave this summer. The 22-year-old Brazilian international is seeking more regular first-team action to progress his career, handing Spurs a prime opportunity to sign a long-term target.
Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano broke the news on X, confirming that Savinho has formally communicated his decision to Manchester City's board. The player's desire to play more means the ball is now entirely in City's court regarding his future.
Tottenham has reportedly identified Savinho as their top attacking priority since May, with manager Roberto De Zerbi keen to add explosive 1v1 ability and depth to the wings. Spurs have been keeping tabs on his situation, ready to make a move if an opportunity arose.
Savinho's wish for guaranteed game time fits perfectly with Tottenham's summer transfer plans. Rumors suggest Spurs have already submitted an opening offer to City valued at £70 million, believing the player's preference for consistent Premier League minutes will accelerate negotiations.
It's also hinted that Savinho may have already agreed personal terms with the London club. If Tottenham can strike a deal with Manchester City on a transfer fee, Savinho could become a headline signing for De Zerbi's squad ahead of the upcoming season.
