Pep Guardiola expressed his desire for Savinho to stay at Manchester City for many years but acknowledged that the player's wishes are paramount. Tottenham Hotspur has contacted City regarding a transfer for Savinho before the deadline. Guardiola emphasized Savinho's potential at 21 years old and noted that while he needs to improve, he is an extraordinary player. Additionally, health updates were provided regarding other squad members, particularly Rodri, who is making a comeback from knee surgery and is close to returning to action.
"If Tottenham, or any other club, wants a player, you should call the club, right? It's the same like we do," Guardiola told a news conference on Friday. "The only thing I'm concerned about today is that Savinho will be with us all the season, and hopefully for many, many years. Because at 21-years-old with the potential he has, playing a lot of minutes, he has to improve in final decisions, he's an extraordinary player. But at the end, as always, the desire of the player prevails above everything, and after that there has to be an agreement with the club. If you don't make an agreement, the player will be here."
"He is so soon to be coming back. Importantly, his knee is perfect. Now he needs to bring minutes into training sessions and a few into games when possible. We don't want him to come back and then step back because it's not dynamic when you can't get rhythm."
