Pep Guardiola has made a very interesting statement about the future of Savinho when asked about the speculation linking the Manchester City star with a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
With Eze now on his way to Arsenal, Tottenham fans are desperate to see the club tie up a deal for Savinho.
After missing out on the Crystal Palace star, a report from Brazil claimed that Spurs are now ready to offer €80m (£70m) for Savinho, with the North London club expected to do everything in their power to bring the 21-year-old through the door.
The same outlet also claimed that the winger wants to complete a move to N17, and his agent is still in England trying to push through the transfer.
Pep Guardiola speaks on Savinho’s future amid Tottenham links
According to Fabrizio Romano, one member of the Man City hierarchy is blocking Savinho’s exit, which poses a problem for Tottenham, who remain keen on landing the winger.
However, Tottenham Hotspur fans will be encouraged by Guardiola’s latest statement, with the City boss vaguely stating that there could be some moment in terms of exits from the Etihad Stadium.
When asked about potential exits for Savinho and Manuel Akanji, Guardiola said (via Fabrizio Romano): “I don’t know about that. They are our players, and we’ll see what happens. I think a few things are going to happen, and we’ll see.”
Why we could see Savinho’s move to Tottenham progress after Saturday
It has been claimed by the Manchester Evening News that we could see Savinho’s move to Spurs progress after Saturday.
The outlet suggested that the deal may be held up due to the fact that the two clubs play each other at the Etihad, with Guardiola’s men not wanting Savinho to recover from his ‘mystery injury’ and play against them.
However, the publication made it clear that it would take a huge offer from Tottenham to prise the Brazilian away this summer.
