"He has been relegated to more of a backup role because Cherki has come in and hit the ground running, and Doku and Foden have both stepped up. Savinho is a top player, but at the moment, he's not improving or making himself a regular there. Guardiola doesn't see him as a starter ahead of those other players I named, so there's every chance that if they get an offer, they could let him go."
"From his point of view, I'm sure he's frustrated that he isn't playing as much as he would like. After the effort City made to keep him at the club, he would have been expecting to be a key part of that team, but that hasn't been the case so far. If the opportunity comes up again for him to leave Man City, to go and play more regular football for another top side,"
Savinho has had a difficult season at Manchester City, making only four Premier League starts as Foden, Doku and Cherki occupy attacking roles. The limited minutes have reduced his prospects for Brazil's 2026 World Cup. Savinho may depart in January after being relegated to a backup role, with Guardiola currently preferring other players ahead of him. Savinho is reportedly frustrated after City worked to keep him but did not make him a regular starter. Interest from clubs such as Tottenham exists, and a move to another top side for regular football appears likely if City agree.
