Savinho transfer piece that keeps all the facts but sharpens the flow and impact:
Tottenham Told £67m Price for Man City’s Savinho Amid Summer Transfer Push
The future of Savinho at Manchester City remains uncertain as Tottenham Hotspur intensifies their pursuit of the Brazilian winger.
The 21-year-old has been a prominent figure in Pep Guardiola’s summer plans, starting three of City’s four matches at the FIFA Club World Cup and featuring in the strongest XI against Palermo last weekend. However, Spurs’ interest has reignited City’s transfer activity, with negotiations now hinging on the North London club’s willingness to meet the asking price.

City have rejected Tottenham’s opening £42m bid and, according to Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola, Savinho’s agent, Frederico Moraes, has confirmed that the Premier League champions are holding out for £67m (€80m). Spurs are also working on a separate deal for Eberechi Eze, but Savinho is understood to be open to a move to North London.

While Guardiola is keen to keep the Brazil international — seeing him as a potential starter this season — City are prepared to sell if the fee is met quickly, allowing time to secure a replacement.
Savinho’s recent track record suggests he could thrive in Manchester. The winger produced three goals and 13 assists last season after arriving from Girona, where he scored 11 goals in La Liga the previous campaign. Former City defender Nedum Onuoha has warned against selling, calling the youngster a “top talent in the making.”
Whether Spurs meet the valuation could define the final weeks of the transfer window — and shape City’s attacking options for the season ahead.
If you want, I can also put together a side-by-side “stats snapshot” graphic comparing Savinho’s last two seasons at Girona and Man City. That would give readers a quick visual of why both clubs rate him so highly.
