Tottenham Hotspur are trying to sign Savinho from Manchester City during the summer transfer window, and they have had an initial offer knocked back for him.
The 21-year-old needs to leave Manchester City in search of regular football, and the move to Tottenham could be ideal for him. The London club is in need of more attacking depth in the side as well. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Spurs need to raise offer for Savinho
According to a report from Fichajes, Tottenham have had an offer of around £60 million, turned down for the player. They will need to raise their offer to £70-80 million in order to get the deal done. Savinho is not a regular starter for Manchester City, and he’s quite young. The reported asking price is quite expensive for him, and it remains to be seen whether Tottenham are prepared to pay up. They will hope to sign him for a more reasonable amount of money.
Savinho would improve Spurs
Tottenham need more quality and depth in the wide areas, and the Brazilian could be a solid long-term acquisition for them. He is highly rated across Europe, and he has shown his quality in La Liga and in the Premier League. He will be hoping to join a club where he can play regularly, so that he can cement his place in the Brazilian national team for the upcoming World Cup.
Tottenham could be the ideal move for him. Thomas Frank might be able to bring out the best in the player. It will be interesting to see if they decide to come back with an improved offer for the player. It is fair to assume that Manchester City will have to be reasonable with their demands. Daniel Levy can be a difficult person to negotiate with, and he will not want to overpay for the player.
