Man City tell Spurs how much Savinho will cost as agent weighs in on bid

Savinho’s agent has reportedly made clear how much it will cost Spurs to sign the Brazil winger from Manchester City.

Savinho, 21, was the subject of an approach from Spurs on Monday despite signing for Man City just last summer.

It was reported by The Athletic’s David Ornstein that dialogue took place between the clubs concerning a package worth €50million (£43.3m).

City have supposedly expressed that they do not want to sell the player this summer, but the Brazilian is "open to the possibility" of a move.

The 21-year-old cost City around £30.8m when he joined from French side Troyes in July of last year.

During his first season in England, the winger made 48 appearances for Pep Guardiola’s side, producing three goals and 13 assists, helping City finish third in the Premier League and reach the FA Cup final.

On Wednesday (August 13), Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola revealed that he has spoken to Savinho’s agent, Frederico Moraes, who confirmed that an offer of €50m (£42m) from Spurs had already been turned down.

Nicola reports that an asking price of €80m (£67m) has been placed on Savinho, and it is unclear if the north London outfit are willing to meet the valuation.

Savinho, who plays predominantly as a right winger, would likely fill the void left by the departure of Son Heung-min if he were to join Spurs.

The Korean joined Major League Soccer outfit LAFC last week, after a decade with the Lilywhites. If Savinho were to join Spurs, he would become the club’s seventh signing of the summer, with Mohammed Kudus, Mathys Tel, Kevin Danso, Luka Vuskovic, Kota Takai and Joao Palhinha (loan) also arriving during the transfer window.

Spurs have also opened talks with Crystal Palace regarding a move for Eberechi Eze.

Thomas Frank on Spurs' transfer dealings

Earlier this month, the Dane explained how his squad "needs to be big and robust enough so we can compete in all four tournaments".

"But I can’t have too many players," Frank told The Athletic. "It’s just so difficult to keep everyone happy. It’s almost impossible.

“Then we want to see if we can add quality. We don’t want to sign players we don’t think can really improve the squad. I would want to wait. We have talented players who can grow. I’m not here for the short-term fix; I want to build something that can last. We need to think longer-term, but we need to compete now.

“I’m constantly learning about (the players). Finding out… are they good enough? Can they raise their ceiling? And do they fit the culture? Those are the three big things.”
