Manchester City are reportedly not interested in selling Savinho amid interest from Tottenham Hotspur in the transfer window.Â

Spurs need to bolster their attacking areas this summer after Son Heung-Min left the club and James Maddison suffered an ACL tear that could rule him out for almost the entire 2025-26 season.Â

Recent reports have suggested that Tottenham are in talks with the Citizens over a permanent transfer for Savinho, who could be an option for Thomas Frank's side.Â

Savinho joined City last summer from sister club Troyes and recorded three goals in 48 appearances for Guardiola’s side in all competitions.Â

Difficult for Tottenham to lure Savinho awayÂ

Tottenham have sent an offer in the region of £43.3m for Savinho to Man City, but Sky Sports News claim, the north London club need to pay a lot more for City to consider selling the winger.Â

Pep Guardiola wants to trim the squad size, and the likes of Jack Grealish, Mateo Kovacic, Ilkay Gundogan, Kalvin Phillips, John Stones and Nathan Ake could be offloaded.Â

Grealish reportedly is edging closer to joining Everton on loan, while James McAtee is nearing a permanent switch to Nottingham Forest.

While Tottenham can lure him away with the offer of regular football and Champions League participation, it will not be easy to convince City to sell him, unless the price is too good to refuse.Â

Man City considering options already?Â

Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Guardiola's side are considering a big-money move for Real Madrid’s Rodrygo.

The versatile Brazilian attacker could leave Los Blancos in the summer, after falling out of favour with Xabi Alonso, and City reportedly see the 24-year-old as their dream target.Â

Meanwhile, City have also reportedly joined the race for RB Leipzig attacker Xavi Simmons, who is linked with a move to Chelsea.Â

If Tottenham are prepared to pay a hefty transfer fee for Savinho, City might be tempted to accept it and move for either Rodrygo or Simmons.Â
