Fabrizio Romano has delivered the latest twist in the Savinho transfer saga, with Tottenham still pushing hard to bring the winger to north London before the summer window closes.
Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City remain in contact during this transfer window as Spurs continue to pursue City winger Savinho.
The Brazilian youngster has emerged as one of the names Tottenham are intent on signing as Thomas Frank looks to bolster his wide options ahead of the long campaign.
The 21-year-old was not involved in City’s Premier League opener, with Pep Guardiola confirming that an injury kept him out of the matchday squad.
The summer transfer window remains open and so does Tottenham’s interest in Savinho, with Fabrizio Romano now providing the latest update on the winger’s situation.
According to the transfer expert, it is understood that Savinho remains attracted by the idea of a move to north London, with talks between both clubs not yet concluded despite City’s stance.
It is explained that Tottenham are expected to make another attempt after their opening proposal was rejected last week, as the north London club remains determined to test City’s resolve.

Manchester City are currently not open to selling Savinho; however, there is a sense that an improved offer could potentially change the picture.
Savinho’s pace and trickery set to add another dimension to Spurs’ attack
Reports earlier this week revealed that Tottenham had submitted a £42 million bid for Savinho, a figure that fell short of Manchester City’s valuation and was swiftly dismissed by the former Premier League champions.
Even so, the player’s openness to the move provides encouragement for Spurs, who are eager to strengthen their forward line.
The need for a new wide player has grown sharper following the departure of Heung-min Son, and Savinho’s profile fits perfectly into what Frank is trying to build at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
His pace, trickery, and direct style would give Spurs an added dimension in the final third, as Tottenham’s attack has already looked dangerous this season, with Mohammed Kudus bringing flair and unpredictability on the right.
Frank appears intent on adding further variety, and it comes as little surprise that he is pursuing another highly talented wide option in Savinho.
