Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement with Manchester City to sign Brazilian winger Savinho in a deal worth up to €99 million, according to Globo.
The transfer will be the largest outgoing player sale in Manchester City’s history, surpassing the €75m received for Julian Alvarez’s move to Atletico Madrid.
Spurs manager Roberto De Zerbi has been instrumental in the pursuit of Savinho.
He views the 22-year-old’s dribbling, flair and delivery as crucial to overhauling Tottenham’s attack after a summer of heavy investment in other departments.
Negotiations between the Premier League clubs accelerated after Savinho expressed a desire to leave City in search of regular first-team football.
The Brazilian international was left out of Man City’s squad for the 3-0 Community Shield defeat to Arsenal on Sunday, signalling his impending departure.
Savinho joined City in 2024 from Troyes after a standout loan campaign at Girona, where he registered 11 goals and 10 assists to help the club secure a historic Champions League berth.
Despite his promise, he has struggled to secure consistent opportunities at City.
With a deal now in its final stages, the Brazilian forward is poised to travel to London for a medical and finalise his move to Tottenham.
The signing represents a major statement of intent, underlining Tottenham’s commitment to De Zerbi’s tactical vision with a seventh summer arrival, which will take their expenditure to over €350m.
Savinho may not be the only City player heading to London, as talks for Omar Marmoush are also ongoing.
Neither player features in manager Enzo Maresca’s plans, and Spurs are aiming to make them key components of their squad.
