Manchester City winger Savinho is open to leaving the club, with Tottenham Hotspur reportedly interested in his signature. The Brazil international is a target for Spurs head coach Roberto de Zerbi, and City are aware of the interest. Sources indicate Savinho is keen to move during the current transfer window.
The 22-year-old attacker joined Manchester City from sister club Troyes for £30.8m in July 2024. He spent the previous season on loan at Girona. Tottenham had previously held talks to sign Savinho last summer, but City were not looking to sell at that time. Savinho signed a two-year contract extension in October 2024, which runs until 2031.

Squad inclusion and absences
Despite his desire to depart, Savinho has been named in City's initial 28-man squad for their pre-season tour of Asia. The squad features a mix of senior players and younger talent. Notably absent from the tour is Jack Grealish, who is recovering from a stress fracture in his foot sustained last season. Grealish is not yet back in full team training.
New City manager Enzo Maresca, who previously worked with Grealish as an assistant, stated he has a good relationship with the player. England goalkeeper James Trafford is also absent as he nears a permanent move to Leeds United. Players who participated in the latter stages of the World Cup, such as Rodri, are also not travelling as they undergo rehabilitation.
