Why Savinho is tempted by Tottenham move despite Manchester City title charge
Tottenham’s pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho has taken another twist, with reports now revealing why the Brazilian is tempted by a move to north London.
It is no news that Tottenham Hotspur are looking to complete the signing of Manchester City winger Savinho this summer.
Tottenham are even understood to have put in a bid for Savio, only for it to be rejected as it fell short of City’s valuation of their player.
Savinho, however, is open to a move to Tottenham, according to reports, and now it has been revealed why the Brazilian is keen on N17.
Why Savinho is tempted by a Tottenham move
This is according to the Daily Mail, who report that Savinho remains unsure of the role he would be given at Manchester City, which is why he has left the door open for Tottenham to make their move.
Spurs, on the other hand, are understood to be preparing to return with a fresh move for Savinho after Manchester City rebuffed their initial enquiry.
The north London side are said to be readying a firm bid for the Brazilian winger as they continue to push for his signature.
City are reported to be demanding a fee in excess of £50million, but the very fact that Savinho is weighing up his future offers encouragement for Tottenham, who know the winger is not fully settled about his prospects under Pep Guardiola.

The City boss himself has already spoken on Savinho’s situation, admitting that while he would prefer to keep the 21-year-old, the club could do business if the right bid were to come in.
It is also claimed that Manchester City face the challenge of balancing their squad for European football, as UEFA’s restrictions mean they must trim their number of non-homegrown players ahead of the Champions League campaign, which could make Savinho one of the players available for sale despite his talent and promise.
For Tottenham, this represents not only an opportunity to strengthen with a dynamic winger but also the chance to secure a player with room to grow, and one who could be central to their long-term project under Thomas Frank.
