Tottenham Hotspur are pushing to sign Savinho and are ready to pay €80m (£68m), according to journalist Nicolò Schira.
Schira reported on X that Savinho has given his availability to Spurs for a contract running until 2031 with an option for a further year, and that De Zerbi’s side are ready to pay €80m (£68m) for the former Girona man. That figure sits above the Daily Mail’s reported £65m figure from earlier in the week, though the gap is narrow enough to suggest the two clubs are in the same conversation rather than different ones.
Personal terms done, club deal still to follow
The player’s side of this deal appears straightforward. The complication – because there is always a complication – comes from the selling club. Fabrizio Romano has indicated that Manchester City want to identify a replacement winger before sanctioning the exit, which is a reasonable position for a club of their resources and an entirely familiar obstacle for anyone who has watched a Spurs summer unfold in real time.
Savinho has been Tottenham’s primary left-wing target for some time, and the personal terms agreement is a meaningful step forward. What Schira is describing is a reported agreement on personal terms and availability, with finalisation dependent on the other club’s negotiations.
Why this matters for De Zerbi’s rebuild
At 22, Savinho is the kind of profile De Zerbi has been targeting throughout this window. At €80m he is not a bargain, but he is not a gamble either.
How quickly this resolves depends entirely on City’s replacement search. Spurs have done what they can on their end; the wait now belongs to the Etihad.
