Tottenham are set to push again for Savinho after seeing their first approach rejected, according to Brazilian outlet UOL. The Manchester City winger remains high on Thomas Frank’s list as the club look to improve their attack before the window closes.
The Brazilian has already given his approval to the move, but Spurs’ opening bid of €50m was turned down by Manchester City. That figure would have brought the Premier League champions a big profit, but apparently not big enough.
As we previously explained, reports in Brazil have already revealed that Savinho’s camp believe he’ll cost around €80m (£67m), with his agent Frederico Moraes confirming the rejected bid earlier this week.
Fresh off a frustrating defeat in the UEFA Super Cup last night against PSG, Tottenham now face a decision on whether to return with a higher offer or risk losing ground in the chase.
The belief in Brazil is that they’re going to give it another go for Savinho.
