Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a renewed bid worth over €70 million for Manchester City winger Savinho ahead of the transfer deadline. Interest in Savinho persisted through the summer but paused while Tottenham pursued Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze, a pursuit that ended with Arsenal signing Eze. Manchester City have rebuffed recent approaches because Pep Guardiola wants to retain Savinho for the 2025/26 season, though club hierarchy blocked offers in the last ten days. Spurs face attacking shortages after long-term injuries to James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, leaving manager Thomas Frank in urgent need of creative options.
The links went quiet for a while as the North Londoners turned their attention to Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, but having suffered a painful defeat to neighbours Arsenal on that front, they're reportedly ready to go back in for Savinho now. According to Fabrizio Romano, Spurs have made several attempts to open negotiations with City over the Brazilian winger, but they're advances were quickly rejected, with Pep Guardiola keen to retain Savinho's services for the 2025/26 season.
However, Spurs will make one last effort before the transfer window ends, and they've prepared an official offer worth over €70million for the 21-year-old. Whether that proves enough for City to change their stance remains to be seen. One thing is certain: with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski out with long term injuries, and Eze gone to Arsenal, Spurs boss Thomas Frank desperately needs a creative outlet in his attacking ranks.
