It seems like Tottenham Hotspur will spend the remaining days left in the summer transfer window to secure Savinho’s services.
So much so that Tottenham could pay a record fee for Savinho worth £60.5 million — which would usurp the initial £55 million (BBC Sport) fee they shelled out to sign Dominic Solanke in the summer of 2024.
The Manchester City winger has a big decision to make about his future, as leaving Pep Guardiola’s side was a decision that went against the likes of Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko to name a few.
Tottenham held fresh talks to sign Savinho during their visit to the Etihad Stadium as Thomas Frank’s side won 2-0 on Saturday.
Tottenham have told Savinho they will give him the licence to express himself
Savinho was ruled out of the contest through injury, having been out of action since his impressive performance off the bench in City’s 3-0 win against Palermo before the start of the season.
Tottenham believe Savinho has huge potential and as a result, they seem to be fully invested in the prospect of signing the Brazilian and turning him into a superstar.

TEAMtalk have now reported that Spurs have already “convinced” the 21-year-old about the role he would play in Thomas Frank’s system.
Furthermore, Tottenham have pitched to Savinho the fact that in Frank’s setup, he would be able to express himself and be creative.
Savinho is keen to play under Thomas Frank as he believes he would start regularly and as per the report, the youngster also believes he would have a better chance of fulfilling his potential than at Manchester City.
How confident Tottenham are about signing Savinho after holding fresh talks
Manchester City were blocking Savinho’s move to Tottenham as it has been claimed that a high-ranking official at the Etihad Stadium fears he could become a star at another club, much like Cole Palmer.
However, the report claims that after opening a new round of talks after Saturday’s contest, there is a feeling of “growing encouragement” in North London that a deal could be completed early this week.
The move is considered a complex one to pull off, with the agents in question pushing to get it over the line.
