Tottenham have now reactivated talks to sign Savinho this summer
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly intensified their pursuit of Savinho as the club looks to strengthen its attacking options ahead of the 2026/27 season.
Reports from England claim Spurs have reopened discussions over a possible deal for the Manchester City winger, with the North London side determined to add more pace and creativity to their squad after a difficult Premier League campaign.
Savinho joined Manchester City after an impressive spell with Girona FC, where his performances in La Liga established him as one of Brazil’s brightest young attacking talents. However, strong competition for places at the Etihad Stadium has limited his opportunities.
Tottenham are believed to view the Brazilian international as a perfect fit for their attacking system due to his speed, dribbling ability and versatility across the forward line. Club officials are reportedly eager to complete early transfer business before pre-season preparations begin.
Spurs are also expected to strengthen multiple positions during the summer window as they prepare for European football and attempt to avoid another inconsistent domestic campaign. The club’s hierarchy reportedly sees Savinho as a key long-term investment.
The 22-year-old is understood to be open to a move in search of regular first-team football, especially with the FIFA World Cup approaching and competition for places in Brazil’s national team increasing.
Manchester City’s position on the winger remains uncertain despite growing speculation surrounding his future. The Premier League champions are said to value Savinho highly but could consider offers if suitable financial terms are presented.
Tottenham’s recruitment team has reportedly been monitoring the player closely for several months, with internal discussions continuing over the structure of a possible transfer package and personal terms.
Savinho has now emerged as one of Tottenham’s most closely watched transfer targets as the North London club begins an ambitious summer rebuild aimed at returning the team to consistent success both domestically and in Europe.
