Tottenham are said to be nearing a move for Savinho from Manchester City in a deal that could rise beyond £75 million including add-ons. The move is not over the line yet, though, with paperwork still to be readied before any medical can go ahead.
- Tottenham and Manchester City are said to have a verbal club-to-club agreement for Savinho.
- Savinho could travel for a Tottenham medical once the documents are ready.
- The proposed package may exceed £75 million, but the guaranteed fee and add-on split remain unclear.
Savinho’s Current Situation at Manchester City
Savinho remains a Manchester City player for now as the move edges towards its next steps. Tottenham are believed to have reached a verbal agreement with City, but that still leaves a clear gap between an advanced deal and a completed transfer.
The next step would be a medical, with Savinho able to travel once the paperwork is in place. Until then, the move remains close without being officially finished.
The overall package could go beyond £75 million if performance-related bonuses are included, although the exact balance between the guaranteed amount and add-ons has not been made public.
Tottenham’s Wider Attacking Plans
Tottenham’s interest in Savinho looks to fit a broader push for more attacking options before the 1 September transfer deadline. Roberto De Zerbi is said to want three additions in forward areas, and Savinho appears to be one of the priority names in that wider plan.
Separate discussions over Omar Marmoush are also continuing, but Savinho remains the main focus. Tottenham seem to be targeting flexible attacking players rather than chasing one isolated move.
Savinho’s Recent Record and Future Opportunity
A proposed fee at this level stands out because Savinho has remained involved at senior level for Manchester City rather than drifting to the edges of the squad. In the 2023/24 Premier League season, he recorded one goal and eight assists in 1,766 minutes, and he then contributed across the Premier League, domestic cups, the Champions League and the Club World Cup in 2025.
August 2026 involvement also underlines that he is still in first-team circulation at City while this move develops.
If the move goes through, Savinho could get a fresh stage for his wide attacking qualities at Tottenham. The proposed switch would offer a new opportunity for his development at the club.
