Tottenham in Talks to Sign Brazil Winger Savinho from Manchester City
Tottenham Hotspur is currently in discussions with Manchester City regarding the potential signing of Brazilian winger Savinho.
Recent conversations between the two clubs have focused on a possible transfer for the 21-year-old player.
Negotiations are still in the early stages, and it remains uncertain whether Manchester City will approve a transfer for the Brazil international.
According to sources from BBC Sport, City is not actively seeking to sell Savinho and would require offers exceeding £50 million for them to consider such a move.
If a deal is reached in that price range, City would realize a significant profit on a player they acquired from French club Troyes for £30.8 million just a year ago.
Savinho was a regular contributor under manager Pep Guardiola last season, netting three goals in 48 appearances across all competitions.
However, with the recent acquisition of French winger Rayan Cherki from Lyon for £30 million, Savinho's opportunities at the Etihad Stadium may be limited.
Tottenham's head coach Thomas Frank is eager to enhance his attacking options following the recent sale of Son Heung-min to Major League Soccer side LAFC.
The club also secured the signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham for £55 million earlier this summer, but they were unable to finalize a £60 million deal for Nottingham Forest playmaker Morgan Gibbs-White.
The need for attacking reinforcements has become even more pressing for Spurs since midfielder James Maddison was ruled out for the majority of the upcoming season due to a knee injury.
Maddison suffered an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear during a pre-season friendly against Newcastle United in Seoul, South Korea, earlier this month.
