Spurs Eye Savinho: £85m Bid Looms for Winger
18 Aug
Summary
- Spurs are pursuing Savinho with an £85m transfer bid.
- The transfer saga has been ongoing for a year, with City delaying.
- Savinho has indicated a strong desire to join Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur's pursuit of Brazilian winger Savinho has escalated, with reports suggesting a potential £85 million transfer fee. This pursuit has lingered for approximately a year after initial interest last summer. Manchester City's current stance appears to be the primary factor delaying an agreement, as new coach Enzo Maresca reportedly weighs Savinho's place in his plans.
Savinho has made his intentions clear, frequently interacting with Tottenham players on social media and expressing a desire to join the club. Despite City attributing his recent absences to illness, it's widely believed his wish to move to Spurs has influenced negotiations and inflated the price.
With the Premier League season opener approaching rapidly, it's unlikely Savinho will be available for Spurs' first match, even if a deal is finalized imminently. Registration deadlines mean he would have minimal training time before their Saturday fixture. Consequently, the forward line for their opening game is expected to feature Mathys Tel, Richarlison, and Mikey Moore.
