Spurs make £85m bid to sign Savinho

According to Brazilian outlet Globo, Tottenham have submitted a formal £85 million (approximately R$597m) offer for Savinho.

The London club has met the valuation requested at the beginning of negotiations, but their Manchester rivals are continuing to play hardball over the finer details of the agreement.

The arm wrestling between the two English giants promises to be intense over the coming days.

However, expectations remain high on both sides that a deal will ultimately be struck before the transfer window officially closes on September 1st.

With £85 million sitting firmly on the table, Tottenham are eagerly awaiting a positive response from Etihad decision-makers.

Savinho wants Tottenham move after Man City training absence

The report adds that Savinho reinforced his desire to leave Manchester City by failing to participate in Thursday’s training session.

This indicate the player is firmly determined to secure his transfer to Spurs and actively chose to step away from session activities.

While official City sources, as reported by Sam Lee, claimed his absence was due to illness, Romano understood that Savinho has reiterated his stance to club hierarchy this week: he wants to leave and join Tottenham immediately.

He confirmed the development on X, posting:

BREAKING: Savinho, not involved in Man City training today .City sources say absence due to illness, as@SamLeereports. Understand Savinho has been clear once again this week: he wants to leave and join Tottenham.

Tottenham determined to sign Savinho

If completed, Savinho would represent yet another blockbuster arrival in what has been an extraordinarily ambitious summer for Spurs.

The club has already flexed serious financial muscle in the transfer market, splashing out significant capital to secure West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes, Newcastle star Sandro Tonali, and defender Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton.

Adding Savinho would signal Tottenham’s absolute intent to challenge at the highest level this season.
