Savinho has not given up hope of completing a move to Tottenham Hotspur before Monday’s transfer deadline despite Manchester City’s refusal to sell him.

Over the last few days, a number of sources have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of the Man City star may be over.

The Athletic’s David Ornstein has insisted that City do not want to sell Savinho as they are not making progress in their efforts to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid.

Fabrizio Romano went a step further and claimed that Pep Guardiola’s men have completely ruled out selling Savinho to Spurs, but a new update has suggested that the player is still holding out hope of a late transfer.

Tottenham remain attentive to Savinho’s situation

TBR Football have now also confirmed that Guardiola wants to keep the winger at the Etihad Stadium, as City have not been able to find a replacement.

However, this has not gone down well with Savinho, who is ‘unhappy’ that the Manchester club have blocked his move to Tottenham.

The report says that the former Girona man is ‘really keen’ on joining Spurs and remains hopeful that a deal can be concluded in the final few days of the transfer window.

It is explained that the Lilywhites are ‘remaining attentive’ to Savinho’s situation at the moment.

Tottenham are exploring moves for other wingers

TBR Football also spoke to journalist Greame Bailey about the Savinho situation, and he reveals that there has been no change in City’s stance on the matter.

However, he adds that Tottenham have informed the Brazil international that they are now turning their attention to other targets.

Bailey told the publication: “City’s hierarchy’s stance was always the same with Savinho; they did not want him to leave. Yes, they showed an interest in Rodrygo, but it was always difficult, and they maintained their stance on Savinho.

“However, I am told that Savinho really wanted the Spurs move and still does; the window remains open until Monday, and he hopes the deal could happen.

“Spurs will remain attentive to the situation, should they get any encouragement; however, they have also made it clear to Savinho they are moving forward with other targets too.”
