Manchester City’s Position on Savinho Revealed Amid Tottenham Talks

Manchester City are not actively looking to sell Brazilian winger Savinho but are open to a departure if Tottenham meet their valuation, sources have confirmed.

Tottenham have entered negotiations over a deal worth €50M for the 21-year-old, who joined City from Troyes last summer. Savinho made a positive impression in his debut campaign, competing for places in attack with Jeremy Doku, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish.

City manager Pep Guardiola has already overseen the exits of Kevin De Bruyne, Scott Carson and Kyle Walker this window and has urged further departures before September 1. Sporting director Hugo Viana is aiming to streamline the squad and reduce the wage bill.

City face Wolves in their Premier League opener this week, with uncertainty remaining over whether Savinho will be included in the matchday squad.
