Tottenham are reportedly close to a deal that could take Savinho to the capital, with a medical expected if the remaining steps are completed.
- Tottenham have reportedly reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City for Savinho.
- The deal is set to be worth more than £75m, though the final structure is still unclear.
- Separate talks involving Omar Marmoush are continuing in the background.
Savinho’s Current Tottenham Situation
Savinho is the player Tottenham are trying to sign, with the move reportedly advancing to a verbal club-to-club agreement rather than a completed transfer. He is expected to travel for a medical if the deal keeps progressing.
A potential move for Omar Marmoush remains a parallel discussion for Tottenham, but Savinho is the main focus for now.
Why Tottenham Are Pursuing Savinho
Tottenham’s search for attacking reinforcements comes after they scored just 48 goals in 38 Premier League matches last season. Savinho also fits the profile of a player who could be open to a bigger role, having made 24 Premier League appearances for Manchester City last term, but only seven starts.
Tottenham’s interest in Savinho goes back to 2025, and this latest push comes after a summer in which they spent more than £200m on six first-team players without closing the door on another major attacking addition.
Savinho’s Manchester City Background and Career Outlook
Savinho joined Manchester City from Troyes in 2024 for £30m and later signed a contract extension that keeps him tied to the Etihad until 2031. His previous Premier League season was much busier, bringing 29 appearances, 21 starts and eight assists, making his drop to just seven league starts in the latest campaign stand out.
A completed move to Tottenham could offer Savinho a route back to sustained Premier League involvement, rather than settling for a limited squad role. Manchester City, meanwhile, would have to think carefully about their attacking depth if the sale goes through, especially with competition for places already including the likes of Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo.
