The future of Savinho is one story that has risen to prominence this week. It does seem that it is highly likely that he will leave Manchester City for Tottenham this summer. The caveat is that Spurs must meet Manchester City’s asking price before City will sanction the sale of the Brazilian international.
Jack Gaughan has previously reported that City would only contemplate selling Savinho for a transfer fee of over £50 million. Now it has been reported that Manchester City have rejected an offer of €70 million (£60.2 million) for Savinho. But it is also reported that Spurs will return with an improved offer for the Manchester City winger.
Manchester City have reportedly rejected a substantial offer from Tottenham for Savinho.
Por Cahê Mota has reported for Globo that Manchester City has rejected an offer of €70 million (£60.2 million) for Savinho. Furthermore, the Globo report states that Tottenham are set to return with an improved offer for Savinho. The Globo report also states that Savinho’s representatives have arrived in England to facilitate negotiations between the two clubs. Lastly, the Globo report adds that there is a good feeling between the involved parties in the current negotiations surrounding Savinho.
If Tottenham return with an improved offer, it would seem that Savinho will leave City.
It seems negotiations between City and Tottenham over a move for Savinho are progressing. The reported €70 million (£60.2 million) offer from Spurs for the Brazilian international is a sizable offer. But as Globo reports, City are holding out for more. But it does seem to be a matter of time before Tottenham return with an offer that will meet City’s demands. Whether or not City accept that offer remains to be seen.
But the fact that Savinho’s representatives are reportedly involved in negotiations suggests that a deal is close. The fact that negotiations between the two clubs are set to continue also indicates that a deal could be near. What happens next depends on what Tottenham’s next offer to Manchester City is. But reading between the lines it would be a surprise if Savinho was a City player come the time the transfer window closes.
