Journalist reveals latest on Savinho to Tottenham amid rumours player still wants the move

2 hours ago 31

While a late move to Tottenham Hotspur has not been completely ruled out for Savinho, it is going to take something extraordinary for Man City to change their stance on the winger.

While Spurs fans are still basking in the glow of the Xavi Simons signing, they have received some bad news over the last 48 hours regarding their pursuit of Savinho.

It has been claimed by several sources that Man City have blocked the sale of the Brazilian to Spurs, with Pep Guardiola not wanting to lose the winger.

However, as Spurs Web has relayed, some outlets have said that Savinho is still holding out hope of a late move to Tottenham.

It will take a mega offer for Spurs to land Savinho

Journalist Pete O’Rourke has now pointed out that a deal to take the 21-year-old to Spurs cannot be completely ruled out, as all players have a price.

However, he makes it clear that it would require an extraordinary offer to get Savinho out of the Etihad, with Man City trying to price him out of a move.

When asked if the Brazilian’s move to Tottenham Hotspur has fallen through, O’Rourke told Football Insider: “Every player has got a price, but right now, Manchester City aren’t willing to do business for Savinho.

“Pep Guardiola wants to keep hold of the Brazilian, [and is] trying to price him out of a potential move to Tottenham, who have obviously shown their interest in Savinho.

“It’s getting so late in the window that unless there’s a mega, mega offer, I don’t think City are counting on selling Savinho this window. Guardiola wants to keep him in his squad.

“He still feels he has a role to play in his team, so Spurs might have to look elsewhere as they look to bring in a wide attacking player, and a number 10.”

Tottenham’s pursuit of Savinho may depend on Real Madrid

It has been claimed by several sources that Man City will only let Savinho leave if they can sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid.

Various sources, including Florian Plettenberg, are now reporting that Rodrygo now looks likely to remain at the Santiago Bernabeu unless something ‘extraordinary’ happens.

Thus, Tottenham’s chances of prising Savinho away from City do not look promising, and the Lilywhites may have already moved on to other alternatives.
