Guardiola makes the overwhelming admission of Savinho in the midst of Tottenham’s discussions to sign him
Man City’s boss, Pep Guardiola, shared an update on Top Tourget Savinho, in the middle of the ongoing spurs to sign the Brazilian.
Earlier this week, information emerged that the Lilywhites opened the talks with City for an agreement for Savinho, alongside the player Crystal Palace Ebelechi Eze, with President Daniel Levy aimed at supporting Thomas Frank by signing the two players in separate movements (Fabrizio Romano).
Son Heung-Min left N17 after 10 memorable years for Lafc almost fifteen days ago, while the playmaker James Maddison will be absent for most of 2025/2026 after having broken his LCA in pre-season against Newcastle United.
Frank desperately needs replacements for the two men, not to mention Dejan Kulusvski, who should stay long with his knee injury.
However, reports suggest that Tottenham has a long way to go before concluding an agreement for Savinho in particular.
His agent, Frederico Moraes, told journalist Jorge Nicola in recent days that City had reversed the first Tottenham offer for the 21 -year -old, worth around 42 million pounds sterling because the heavyweights of the Premier League hold about 67 million pounds Sterling.
Savinho wants to join the Spurs, and Moraes threw himself into Europe to try to pass through the desired movement of his client. The ancient Girona sensation seeks to make its way in the Brazil team for the 2026 World Cup by becoming a star pillar in northern London (mail), and Frank wants it personally.
“I understand that the coach, Thomas Frank, is really pushing to have Savinho and making him one of the stars of the team,” Fabrizio Romano told Givemesport this week.
“So, of course, Savinho, from what I hear, is really, really tempted by this opportunity. Let’s see between the clubs what is happening, because 50 or 55 million euros will never be enough for Manchester City to give the green light.”
The desire to get there is clearly there both alongside Savinho and Tottenham, but the two parties always have a major obstacle in the form of the city to be conquered.
Pep Guardiola makes the overwhelming admission of Savinho in the midst of Tottenham talks
Speaking at a pre-match press conference before the opening of Sky Blues’ Premier League against Wolves, Guardiola shared bad news on Savinho in the middle of the Tottenham winger.
Guardiola confirmed that Savinho will be released for weeks after having injury against Palermo in his last pre-season match, so even if Levy manages to conclude an agreement, the player may not even be ready and available for Frank.
“Kovacic is not ready, Josko is not ready, the others are,” he started.
“They will travel tomorrow and the selection we will see. Tomorrow we will decide.
“Savinho is injured in Palermo. A few weeks, he will be absent.”
The city’s head coach also commented on his player’s bonds with the Spurs, calling him “extraordinary” player, while expressing his wish for Savinho to stay in Eastlands for many years.
“I don’t know. If it’s Tottenham in this case or another club, if a club wants a player, he should call the club like us,” said Guardiola.
“”I only care about Savinho with us for the rest of the season and, hopefully, many years because at 21, with the potential he has, he is an extraordinary player.
“”Otherwise, he would not have played more than 3,000 minutes last season. At the end, the players’ desire is superior to everything. But then they have to find an agreement with the club. If they don’t agree, the player will be there. “”
