Savinho Leaving Manchester City: €50-60 Million Tag, Tottenham Leading Suitor — Brazilian Star Ends Season in Disappointment

Time has come for parting ways for Manchester City's Brazilian star Savinho. According to a report by ESPN Brasil's Bruno Andrade, the Manchester City board has abandoned its stance of keeping the player and decided to put him up for sale in the summer transfer window. The 21-year-old Brazilian winger has spent only two seasons in Manchester since being transferred from Troyes for €40 million last year. The asking price is around €50-60 million — Tottenham Hotspur, Juventus and La Liga clubs are in the race.

The season was a complete disappointment for Savinho. According to Caught Offside, with just 2 goals and 2 assists in 23 matches, he couldn't make an impact in the Premier League. Throughout the season, Pep Guardiola's tactical choices kept him either on the bench or used as a substitute. According to Read Man City's March report, Savinho had scored only 1 goal in 29 Premier League appearances last season — this year his league goal record remained insufficient apart from 2 goals in the Carabao Cup. The club's approach of "the squad needs changing" has made the Brazilian player an open door.

Tottenham Hotspur has appeared as the most eager buyer since last summer's failed £70 million bid. According to Sky Sports News, the North London club under Thomas Frank has continued targeting Savinho to strengthen the attacking line after James Maddison's ACL injury. Tottenham's 2024-25 UEFA Europa League title stands out as an attractive project for Savinho. According to Football Insider, Spurs, as one of the Premier League's big spenders, could also move in the January window.

Juventus and La Liga clubs make up surprise suitors. According to Caught Offside, Italian giants and multiple clubs from Spain are interested in Savinho. This situation maintains the €50-60 million price while offering different options for the player — providing an opportunity to move to other top-tier European leagues without the obligation to stay in the Premier League. Savinho's own preference is said to be staying in Manchester (with the aim of making the Brazil squad for the 2026 World Cup) but the management decision has officially changed.

Manchester City's broader rebuild process is shaping Savinho's departure. While a new team is being built for Pep Guardiola's successor (Enzo Maresca's potential transition is being discussed in news), Hugo Viana and the new sporting management are implementing a "squad rebuild" logic. Kevin De Bruyne, Kyle Walker, Ederson, Ilkay Gündoğan and James McAtee left the Etihad last summer. Now Bernardo Silva is also expected to leave as a free agent with his contract ending in June. Manchester City is awaiting Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest — proceeds from the Savinho transfer could finance these moves. The coming weeks will be decisive for Savinho.
