Manchester City attacker Savinho was heavily linked with a Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, but the move did not go through.
There have been rumours that Savinho could now sign a new contract with Manchester City. According to a report from Football Insider, the Brazilian international could push for an exit during the winter transfer window. The development is a boost for Tottenham, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done.
The Manchester City attacker, who cost €40 million last year, has struggled for regular game time at the Premier League club, and he needs to move on to see more opportunities. Sitting on the bench at the Premier League club will not benefit him. He is at the stage of his career where he needs regular game time to develop and fulfil his potential.
A move to Tottenham could be ideal for him. They will be able to offer him more opportunities. The youngster is capable of operating on either flank, and he will add goals and creativity to their attack. The North London outfit have an ambitious project and quality players at their disposal.
The Brazilian will be attracted to the idea of playing for them. Thomas Frank could bring out the best in him and help him fulfil his potential. However, with widespread reports suggesting he is set to sign a new contract with Manchester City, it is unclear if the latest rumours are correct.
Will Manchester City sell Savinho?
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can convince Manchester City to sell the Brazilian attacking prodigy. The Citizens are already lacking in depth in the attacking unit, and they may not want to lose the South American. However, they will be powerless to stop him from leaving if he decides to force an exit. He needs to focus on his development for now.
With the World Cup coming up in 2026, the 21-year-old will need to sort out his future quickly. Savinho is unlikely to be a part of the Brazilian national team if he continues to sit on the bench at Manchester City. A strong second half of the season at another club could help him force his way into Carlo Ancelotti’s plans for the upcoming mega event.
