Both Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping to reach an immediate resolution about Savinho’s future.
Tottenham have promised Savinho creative freedom and a designated role in Thomas Frank’s system, which is further tempting the Brazilian to play his football in N17.
Spurs seem to be pushing hard to complete the 21-year-old’s signing.
So much so that Tottenham held talks to sign Savinho on Monday and informed Manchester City that they would pay over £60.6 million to secure his services.
Savinho will only join Tottenham if Rodrygo tells Real Madrid he wants Man City move
Manchester City News confirmed Rodrygo could replace Savinho at the Etihad Stadium but there is uncertainty surrounding the two-time Champions League winner’s future as well.
As a result, how the final few weeks of the transfer window unfold will be fascinating to witness.

However, The Athletic have revealed for Manchester City to consider selling Savinho to Tottenham, they will first have to complete a deal to sign Rodrygo but his addition would be far from straightforward.
Rodrygo, who started against Real Oviedo, will have to inform Real Madrid of his desire to join Pep Guardiola’s men for him to be granted a move to the English giants — a step he is yet to take.
Savinho and Rodrygo’s stats compared last season
Rodrygo has spoken to his agents and instructed them to find a new club, which is good news for Savinho, who is open to joining Tottenham.
Rodrygo is Savinho’s idol and if both players were to be granted moves to new clubs, the stats indicate how productive each winger was last season.
The Real Madrid forward outscored his countryman but interestingly, the Manchester City wideman was the superior creator, with two more assists to his name over the course of the previous campaign.
Whether both Brazilians stay at their respective clubs or make moves are arguably two of the most intriguing stories of the ongoing summer transfer window.
