Tottenham Hotspur tried to sign Savinho from Manchester City during the summer transfer window, but the move did not work out.

They are not ready to give up on the Brazilian attacker yet, and they will return him in the future. According to Fichajes, they have already begun working on a €100 million deal for the South American.

Spurs preparing huge offer

They are prepared to submit an offer of around €80 million for the player, along with €20 million in bonuses.

Savinho is not a regular starter for Manchester City, and they may be tempted to sell him for a substantial amount of money. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Spurs need more quality on the flanks, and the Brazilian is a tremendous talent. He has a bright future ahead of himself, and even though the outlay is significant, he might be able to justify the investment in the long run. He has been labelled as a “fantastic footballer”.

Spurs remain keen on Savinho

It is clear that Tottenham are very keen on securing his signature. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few months. The Brazilian will hope for more gametime at Manchester City. He needs to play regularly to continue his development. Additionally, he will want to secure his place in the Brazilian national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

The player was keen on an exit earlier this summer, but Manchester City refused to sanction his departure. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decide to try their luck in January or at the end of the season. Either way, he would be a superb long-term investment for the club if they manage to get the deal done.
