Savinho is one player that seems destined to leave Manchester City this summer. The Brazilian international was heavily linked with a move to Tottenham last summer but the move never eventuated. Once again, Savinho has been linked with a move to Spurs as Tottenham bid to give their manager, Roberto De Zerbi, the players he needs to fully implement his style of play. A new update has emerged over Savinho’s potential move to Tottenham. Manchester City will only sell the Brazilian winger if they can find a replacement for him. While it is expected that Savinho will leave City, it is a move that may take time to come together.

Manchester City want a replacement for Savinho lined up before sanctioning his sale.

Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Savinho’s prospective move to Tottenham. Romano reports that talks between City and Tottenham have been ongoing for weeks. Furthermore, Romano reports that Savinho is Tottenham’s top target to bolster their options in the wing position. Lastly, Romano adds that Savinho’s move to Spurs is dependent on Manchester City finding a replacement for him.

How City go about replacing Savinho will be interesting to watch play out.

How Manchester City go about replacing Savinho will be interesting to watch unfold. They could sign another promising winger who has the room to develop into a quality and consistent performer. That is one approach City could take, although you could say that they have done this by signing exciting young winger Jeremy Monga from Leicester City. So perhaps the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders will target a more experienced and proven player to bolster their attacking options.

One thing is certain, Manchester City will want a player who can be a more consistent performer than Savinho. At times, Savinho has been unplayable. However, for the majority of his time at City the young winger has flattered to deceive. What the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders won’t want is to find another winger who has similar issues to Savinho.

Savinho seems highly likely to leave Manchester City and sign for Tottenham at some point this summer. That move isn’t likely to occur until City secure a replacement for him and that search could take time, but there is plenty of that left in the summer transfer window.

Ever since the 2025-26 season ended, it has seemed that Savinho’s future lies away from Manchester City. The Brazilian international has flattered to deceive too often with his performances. Savinho’s talent and potential are clear to see. However, he hasn’t consistently performed for City. It has now been reported that Tottenham is making a strong move to sign Savinho. It seems that it is now a matter of time before Savinho leaves Manchester City.

Tottenham are making progress in their bid to sign Savinho.

Fabrizio Romano has reported that Tottenham is making progress in its bid to sign Savinho from Manchester City this summer. Furthermore, Romano reports that Tottenham believes Savinho wants to complete a move to Roberto De Zerbi’s side. It is also reported that City could sell the Brazilian international if a good proposal arrives from Tottenham.

Savinho could be the first domino to fall in terms of who leaves Manchester City this summer.

It does appear like it could be a busy summer for Manchester City in terms of players leaving the club. Tijjani Reijnders, Mateo Kovacic, Nathan Ake, Nico Gonzalez and James Trafford all could depart. Bernardo Silva and John Stones have already left the club. There could be a big turnover at City as they embark on a new era without Pep Guardiola as manager.

Savinho could be one of the first players to leave City this summer. It seems his potential move to Tottenham is accelerating quickly. It is probably for the best that Savinho does leave Manchester City so he can be a first-team regular elsewhere. The Brazilian winger isn’t likely to get that opportunity at City given how he performed last season. Therefore, it seems like he is keen to leave City and that City will sell him if Tottenham can match their asking price.

Savinho’s potential move to Tottenham looks to be gathering pace. As long as Spurs meet Manchester City’s asking price, it does seem like Savinho could be one of the first players to leave City in what looms as a busy summer at the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders.

Earlier this week Manchester City were linked with a move for Tottenham right-back Pedro Porro. Spanish publication AS reported that City had initiated contact with Pedro Porro’s camp over a potential move to the Etihad. A fee of £50 million was quoted as Tottenham’s asking price to sell the Spanish international. On first inspection Porro would seemingly be a squad player for Manchester City. However, when you dig a bit deeper there is a strong case for City to move for powerful right-back given the clear strengths of his game which are in direct contrast to what Matheus Nunes offers.

Pedro Porro is a player who would add quality to the Manchester City squad.

Matheus Nunes is firmly established as Manchester City’s first-choice right-back. He has earned that role with his impressive performances throughout the back end of the 2024-25 season and again during City’s 2025-26 campaign. Looking at Pedro Porro and Matheus Nunes, you do sense that they are similar players. Both offer a pronounced threat going forward and are serviceable when defending. In fact, Matheus Nunes ranks as a top defender. However, when you dig deeper, perhaps Porro could come into the Manchester City squad and offer more than simply competition for Matheus Nunes given what he brings to the table in possession.

Squawka produced an interesting article at the end of the 2025-26 season which listed the top 10 performing right-backs of last season. Squawka’s rating system combined offensive and defensive statistics from across the season to rank the best-performing right-backs. In their list, Pedro Porro ranked third and Matheus Nunes eighth. That was a surprise to discover given how well Nunes performed for Manchester City. Also, Porro played in a poor Tottenham side, which may have been to his benefit in Squawka’s rankings.

The surprise with Porro’s performance is how well he ranked defensively. First and foremost, Porro’s specialty is as an attacking right-back. That is an area where Manchester City would definitely benefit if they did sign Porro. However, defensively, while Porro isn’t spectacular, he is a more than adequate right-back. Porro wins possession well as the linked statistics from DATA MB illustrate. However, Porro does struggle in defensive duels. Aerially, Porro isn’t strong. By comparison, Matheus Nunes is elite in winning defensive duels and very strong aerially.

A view of the comparison of the statistics of Matheus Nunes and Pedro Porro paints a clear picture. Porro is stronger than Nunes in possession and Matheus Nunes is better than Porro defensively. That is where the contrast lies as does point to why perhaps Manchester City are considering a move for Pedro Porro.

Final thoughts.

Initially, when the report of Manchester City being interested in a move for Pedro Porro emerged, it seemed like the Spanish right-back would come in to provide competition or cover for Matheus Nunes. After all, the right-back position is Nunes’ to lose at City.

Pedro Porro would add another weapon to Manchester City’s play going forward. He’d allow City to operate differently going forward which is perhaps why City have an interest in signing the Spanish international. Porro also isn’t defensive liability that he appears to be so a Manchester City move for him does make sense if City want to be even more dangerous in the final third.

It would almost be a surprise if Manchester City didn’t sign a right-back this summer. Matheus Nunes has made the position his own at City, but it does look like City needs cover for the Portuguese international in their squad. There is a case, given how well Matheus Nunes has performed in the role, that the FA Cup and Carabao Cup holders could sign a young right-back as an understudy to Matheus Nunes. Feyenoord’s versatile full-back Givairo Read fits this bill. Another route City could take in their search for a right-back is a player who is proven and can provide competition for Matheus Nunes. A new report has named Tottenham’s powerful right-back Pedro Porro as a potential target for City. Porro is Premier League proven, but is he the right-back that City needs right now?

Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Pedro Porro this summer.

Spanish publication AS has reported that Manchester City are interested in pursuing a summer move to sign Pedro Porro from Tottenham. The AS report indicates that Manchester City have already initiated contact with Porro’s camp over a potential summer move to the Etihad. Furthermore, it is reported that City have their eyes on sealing a move for Porro ahead of the World Cup. It is also reported that Tottenham have held talks with Porro over extending his contract with the club. Porro is contracted with Spurs until 2028. AS reports that Pedro Porro hasn’t given an indication that he is keen to extend his contract. Lastly, it is reported that Tottenham have placed a £50 million price tag on the Spanish international who is part of Spain’s squad for the upcoming World Cup.

Pedro Porro is a Premier League-proven right-back, but is he the right fit for City?

First of all, Pedro Porro is a proven Premier League performer, as he has shown during his time at Tottenham. Porro shines as an attacking full-back, where his powerful and quick attacking runs stand out. In fact, they are impossible to miss. Porro’s delivery and ability to progress the ball with his passing or his ability to carry the ball are attributes that would slot into a City side. Also, Pedro Porro can invert into midfield which was seen when Ange Postecoglu was Tottenham’s manager.

The question mark with Pedro Porro is on the other side of the ball. Defensively, Porro can be exposed at times. He isn’t a complete liability in one-on-one situations, but he can be beaten by dynamic wingers. That isn’t a fatal flaw for Porro, but it is one area of his game he needs to improve. Aerially, Porro isn’t the strongest, but he can compete in this aspect of the game. Porro’s ability to recover the ball isn’t elite, but it must be said that he has improved this side of his game.

Pedro Porro is an attacking right-back rather than an elite right-back on both sides of the ball. The question is, do Manchester City need this type of right-back? They already have Matheus Nunes, who has become one of the top right-backs in the Premier League. Pedro Porro isn’t an immediate upgrade on Matheus Nunes, in my opinion. If City want a player to provide competition for Nunes, Pedro Porro could definitely provide that.

Pedro Porro is the latest right-back to be named as a potential Manchester City target. The Spanish international is a proven Premier League commodity; however, it remains to be seen if signing a 26-year-old right-back is a route City will take this summer.

As a new era without Pep Guardiola awaits Manchester City, there will be players who depart the club this summer. One of those is expected to be Savinho. The Brazilian winger hasn’t been able to establish himself as a consistent performer for City during his two seasons at the club. James Trafford is another player who seems destined to leave City this summer. Trafford is far too good to be a backup keeper, and he has ambitions to be England’s number-one goalkeeper and a number-one keeper in his own right. A new report has named the pair as potential summer transfer targets for Tottenham. In truth, a move to Roberto De Zerbi’s side makes sense for both players.

Tottenham reportedly have an interest in signing Savinho and James Trafford this summer.

A report from Simon Jones for the Daily Mail has emerged which looks into Tottenham’s summer transfer plans. As per Jones’ report, Savinho and James Trafford are emerging as players that Tottenham may look to sign this summer. It is reported that Savinho was a transfer target for Tottenham last summer. However, Pep Guardiola wanted to keep the Brazilian international. This summer is a different story. Jones adds that Tottenham could be poised to launch a £60 million offer City’s way to sign Savinho.

Secondly, Simon Jones reports that Tottenham are in the market for a new number-one goalkeeper. James Trafford is reportedly a target, as is Leeds United keeper Karl Darlow.

It would be a surprise if both James Trafford and Savinho didn’t leave Manchester City this summer, and a move to Tottenham seems plausible.

James Trafford and Savinho look to be two players who could leave Manchester City this summer. Their circumstances, however, are entirely different. Savinho seems to be surplus to requirements at City. As talented as Savinho is, too often his performances aren’t up to the level that City demands. A summer move may be exactly what he needs to start fresh somewhere new. James Trafford has a major obstacle in his path to being City’s number-one goalkeeper: Gianluigi Donnarumma. City wouldn’t want to lose Trafford given his quality and the fact that he is City born and bred. However, that decision may be out of their hands.

Tottenham will be looking to rebuild this summer after a disappointing 2025-26 season. Manager Roberto De Zerbi’s style of play may suit both Savinho and James Trafford. Savinho’s energy out wide could be a weapon for Spurs. James Trafford’s ability in possession will help Tottenham’s buildup from the back, and his quality as a shot-stopper would be an asset for any team.

James Trafford and Savinho are reportedly summer transfer targets for Tottenham. They do both seem to be prime candidates for Manchester City to sell this summer, as mentioned above, for different reasons. Tottenham seems to be a club with a plan to back Roberto De Zerbi this summer, so a move to Spurs for players seems possible if Spurs can meet City’s asking price.
