Manchester City have approved the sale of an attacker Tottenham are in talks to sign, and with the player\u2019s green light already given, Spurs could well break their transfer record.<\/p>\n
Tottenham\u2019s most expensive signing remains the relatively modest \u00a365m (\u00a355m plus \u00a310m in add-ons) arrival of Dominic Solanke in 2024.<\/p>\n
But after successive 17th-placed finishes, Spurs are well aware there needs to be significant investment in Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s playing personnel.<\/p>\n
Tottenham<\/a> aim to add leadership and experience with the double free agent signings of Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi. Both deals are agreed in principle.<\/p>\n But to add spark to the attack, Tottenham have gone back in for a player they twice bid for last summer \u2013 Savinho<\/a>.<\/p>\n Spurs\u2019 biggest offer for the 22-year-old Brazilian was reportedly \u20ac80m \/ approximately \u00a370m. Man City<\/a> turned the offer down and chose to retain Savinho after failing to sign Rodrygo from Real Madrid.<\/p>\n Savinho then signed a new contract at the Etihad, but one year on, his future is a hot topic once again.<\/p>\n Tottenham want Savinho, Savinho wants Tottenham<\/p>\n Reporting on his YouTube channel on Tuesday<\/a>, transfer guru Fabrizio Romano declared:\u00a0\u201cKeep an eye on Tottenham and Savinho. Last summer they wanted to go all in for Savinho. They sent two officials bids to Man City, but City decided not to proceed.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a story from August 2025. City were considering going for Rodrygo from Real Madrid and letting Savinho go to Tottenham.<\/p>\n \u201cThen the Rodrygo deal was not possible and also City decided to trust Savinho, so they decided to offer him a new contract and in September he put pen to paper.<\/p>\n \u201cBut this season for Savinho at Man City has not been easy. He wants to play regularly and now Spurs are prepared to go for it.<\/p>\n \u201cRoberto De Zerbi and people at Tottenham want Savinho, and so they\u2019re prepared to re-open negotiations with Manchester City.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE TOTTENHAM COVERAGE ON F365\u2026 Romano concluded by noting Savinho is on board with the move to Spurs and if they strike an agreement with Man City, he \u201cwill be a Spurs player.\u201d<\/p>\n Man City approve Savinho transfer<\/p>\n
