Tottenham have agreed a deal to sign Savinho from Manchester City in one of the biggest moves of the summer transfer window.
The Brazilian winger is set to move to North London for an initial £75 million, with another £10 million in potential add-ons, taking the overall package to £85 million.
Savinho is expected to undergo his medical before completing the move. The transfer comes after Spurs made the winger one of their major attacking targets as new manager Roberto De Zerbi continues his huge rebuild of the squad.
The 22-year-old joined Manchester City in 2024 after impressing during his time with Girona. However, despite showing flashes of his ability, he struggled to secure a regular starting place at the Etihad.
For Tottenham, the signing is another massive statement of intent. Spurs have already spent heavily this summer, bringing in several high-profile players, and Savinho now becomes another major attacking addition.
His pace, dribbling and ability to create chances should give Tottenham another dangerous option in the final third. De Zerbi will be hoping the Brazilian can play with the freedom and confidence that made him such an exciting player at Girona.
The deal is also significant for Manchester City. Savinho’s departure would become the club’s record sale, while City are now expected to look for attacking reinforcements of their own.
Tottenham are not finished either. They are also working on a potential deal for Savinho’s Manchester City teammate Omar Marmoush, which could make their transfer raid on City even more extraordinary.
For Savinho, the move represents a fresh start and an opportunity to become a key player rather than fighting for limited minutes.
And for Tottenham, it is another huge signal that De Zerbi’s new project is being backed with serious money.
