Tottenham transfer news: Spurs to 'try again' for Man City attacker following £60m rejection

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly prepared to try again in their pursuit of Manchester City attacker Savinho.

Spurs have bolstered their attacking options with the signing of Mohammed Kudus from West Ham United this summer.

However, they are still keen to bring in further reinforcements in attacking areas following Son Heung-min's departure and news of James Maddison's long-term inury.Â

Spurs have recently emerged as a potential suitor for Man City's Savinho, despite the fact that he only arrived in the Premier League last summer.

Man City boss Pep Guardiola wants to keep the Brazilian at the Etihad Stadium, but has admitted that he will not stand in a player's way if they show a willingness to leave.Â

Spurs refuse to give up in Savinho pursuit

According to Globo, via The Sun, Man City have already rejected a £60m offer from Tottenham for the left-footed winger.

That fee would represent a significant mark-up on the £21m Man City paid to sign Savinho from sister club Troyes last summer.

However, the Citizens are seemingly keen to demand more for a player who has a long-term contract until the summer of 2029.

Tottenham are willing to 'try again' in their efforts to prise Savinho away from Man City before the transfer window closes on September 1.

Spurs are preparing to table a new offer in the near future, with Savinho said to be keen on the move to North London.Â

Why would Savinho swap Man City for Spurs?

Man City may have failed to lift a trophy in Savinho's first season with the club, but on paper, they are better equipped to win silverware in the 2025-26 campaign than Spurs.

However, Savinho appears to have some concerns about how much playing time he will receive amid competition from Rayan Cherki, Oscar Bobb and Phil Foden.

The 21-year-old feels that a move to Thomas Frank's side would guarantee him the chance to play regular football this season.

Savinho recognises the importance of playing regularly if he is to have a chance of securing a place in Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil squad for the 2026 World Cup.Â
