Savinho skips training! Brazilian star wants Tottenham move only

Savinho was absent from Manchester City training amid growing rumors of his move to Tottenham.

Details: Fabrizio Romano reports that the club attributes the Brazilian's absence to illness, but the player has once again made it clear this week: he wants to leave and join Tottenham. The Spurs, who have already agreed a contract with the winger until 2031, are now discussing the final fee with the Citizens—it's around £60 million.

The main driving force behind the deal is Spurs’ new manager Roberto De Zerbi, who sees the 22-year-old Brazilian as the perfect attacking reinforcement and is personally pushing for the transfer. City, meanwhile, have already lined up a replacement: Maresca has made direct contact with the camp of Pedro Neto from Chelsea, so this chain of deals could trigger a wave of high-profile moves.

Savinho joined City in the summer of 2024 from Troyes and extended his contract in October 2025 until 2031. However, the Brazilian has seen limited game time, which has become the key reason for seeking a move. Over two seasons in Manchester, the winger has made 53 appearances and scored two goals, while his market value is estimated at around €50 million according to Transfermarkt.
