Tottenham Hotspur agreed an initial £75 million transfer fee with Manchester City to sign 22-year-old Brazilian winger Savinho on August 21, 2026 [1, 2, 3]. The deal includes up to £10 million in add-ons, potentially raising the total cost to £85 million according to some reports [1, 2, 4, 3, 5].
Savinho struggled to secure a regular starting spot at Manchester City, making 84 appearances with 7 goals and 16 assists during his stint there [5, 3]. Tottenham manager Roberto De Zerbi expects Savinho to quickly slot into the starting lineup amid injury issues and fitness concerns among other Spurs attackers [3, 6].
Savinho is set to undergo a medical in north London before signing a long-term contract with Tottenham [1, 3]. The club's summer spending will exceed £300 million once the deal closes, reflecting their intent to strengthen the squad significantly [3].
In addition to Savinho, Spurs remain in talks with Manchester City over a possible deal for Egypt forward Omar Marmoush [2, 4, 3].
The transfer saga continues as Tottenham finalize Savinho’s medical and contract details before announcing the signing officially.
