Tottenham Hotspur are planning another huge transfer even if they are successful in landing Savinho from Manchester City.
Tottenham's current focus is on trying to agree a deal with City for the Brazil international, having failed to do the same 12 months ago.
Even though Spurs have a new manager in Roberto De Zerbi now from their interest a year ago, the Brazilian has still emerged as their top winger target in the remaining weeks of the summer transfer window.
The north London outfit appear ready to spend big on the 22-year-old, but any deal could depend on City landing their preferred target as a replacement.
De Zerbi has made it clear that he wants at least a 'couple' of new additions to his frontline before the September 1 deadline, having already transformed his defence and midfield ahead of the new season.
The Italian made it clear that they need to be 'important' players, suggesting he wants two players who are guaranteed starters to arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs have clearly decided that Savinho is at that level as they pursue a move for the South American, who has just told City that he wants to go.
Tottenham are also looking at striker options too, with doubts over the future of Richarlison.
Tottenham to Make 'Proper' Move for Junior Kroupi
Tottenham will have to sign a new striker if Richarlison does go, and they could bring in one regardless, given the huge ambition they have already shown this summer, breaking their transfer record twice.
Now, a top Spurs source has confirmed on X that while they work on finalising a deal to sign Savinho from City, and find solutions for the exit-linked Lucas Bergvall, Cristian Romero and Guglielmo Vicario, their attentions will turn to Bournemouth attacker Eli Junior Kroupi afterwards.
Junior Kroupi, labelled a 'world-class talent' by teammate Marcus Tavernier, is on the radar of every top club across Europe following an outstanding breakthrough Premier League campaign with the Cherries, where he scored 13 goals in 33 top flight appearances as a teenager.
Romano: Barcelona Open Talks to Sign Tottenham Target
According to Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham could face stiff competition in their bid to try and land Junior Kroupi in this window.
Firstly, Bournemouth are likely to demand huge money for a player they want to keep to be part of their first-ever European campaign next term, having already lost the likes of Antoine Semenyo and Marcos Senesi in 2026.
Now, Romano has revealed that La Liga giants Barcelona have opened talks with the Cherries and the player's camp about a potential switch to the Camp Nou, as they look for alternative signings to Julian Alvarez.
Barca have been trying all summer to bring the Atletico Madrid striker to the club, but the outfit from the Spanish capital are insisting that he stays where he is.
