Fabrizio Romano confirms renewed Tottenham interest in Manchester City forward surplus to requirements | OneFootball

Tottenham have re-opened discussions with Manchester City over a summer transfer for Savinho, as per several reports.

The north Londoners escaped relegation on the final day of the Premier League season, bringing the curtain down on a hugely disappointing campaign that will prompt major changes on and off the pitch.

Spurs were interested in signing Savinho from Manchester City last summer and were understood to have made an offer worth £70 million for the Brazilian winger.

However, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and chief executive Ferran Soriano were against the move as Savinho stayed put and renewed his contract at the Etihad Stadium till 2031.

Reports: Tottenham rekindle Savinho interest

Mail Sport reported on Monday that Tottenham are re-exploring their interest in Savinho, who struggled for minutes at the Etihad Stadium in the recent season and could be heading for the exit door.

Fabrizio Romano has since confirmed that Tottenham are once again exploring a deal for the attacker, with negotiations underway and Savinho – who is also attracting interest from Newcastle United – is open to the move down south.

It is expected to be a busy summer for City director of football Hugo Viana, who is understood to have held early-stage discussions with incoming head coach Enzo Maresca over the club’s transfer activity ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Spurs are understood to be willing to pay £60 million for Savinho, who is understood to have been deemed surplus to requirements by the Manchester City hierarchy after a sub-par season.

Will Man City sell Savinho?

All signs point to an amicable parting of ways between Savinho and the Blues, who are highly likely to have included a release clause in the winger’s contract when they tied him to the Etihad Stadium till 2031 last summer.

At 22, Savinho will himself want to avoid another year on the bench and explore the challenge of taking Tottenham from a 17th place Premier League finish to qualifying for Europe and competing for major trophies under Roberto de Zerbi.

City will allow a sale if their transfer valuation is met, though £60 million is a very good fee for a fringe player who barely played this season and has his best years ahead of him.
