Context:

Savinho, a Brazil winger at Manchester City, is open to leaving amid Tottenham Hotspur’s interest as the clubs push towards a potential London move during this transfer window. Spurs view him as a key target under their head coach, with City aware of the pursuit. He joined City in 2024 for £30.8m from Troyes and extended his contract to 2031 last year, but his game time has diminished since a strong first season. The shift reflects increased competition on the right flank from new arrivals, setting up a potential transition if a deal can be aligned.

Dive Deeper:

• Savinho joined Manchester City from Troyes for £30.8m in July 2024, after spending the prior season on loan at Girona.

• He signed a two-year contract extension in October, tying him to City until 2031.

• In his first season under Pep Guardiola, he was a regular, scoring three goals in 48 appearances across all competitions.

• Last season’s minutes were more limited, with 36 appearances in all competitions as Guardiola rotated options on the right.

• Tottenham held talks to sign Savinho last summer, though City were not willing to sell at that time, and interest continues into the current window.
