Savinho breaks silence after Man City make final Tottenham transfer decision

Manchester City winger Savinho has taken to social media whilst continuing to be linked with a late switch to Tottenham Hotspur this summer transfer window.

Spurs have less than two weeks to finish their business and lock in their squad for the 2025/26 campaign. A great emphasis has been placed on Thomas Frank bringing in more influential attackers following the devastating injury blow to James Maddison in pre-season and the exit of Son Heung-min.

As reported by football.london, interest in Savinho is now established. The club see the Brazilian as an ideal replacement for their departed former captain.

Savinho's versatility to play on both attacking flanks could potentially become a handy tool for Frank, who could shift new signing Mohammed Kudus to play centrally.

But there is no guarantee a deal can be done before the September 1 deadline, especially if Man City are unwilling to sell. The latest claim via Guillem Balague is that they have decided they will not sell the player to Spurs.

For the first time since this information has emerged, Savinho has chosen to post to Instagram.

"Dreams are paths built by the heart," the 21-year-old's cryptic message read. That was the captain to four images of his collection of personal memorabilia from his career so far, Savinho in training and a pair of sky blue Nike total 90 trainers.

After scoring three and assisting 13 in all competitions in his debut campaign in England, Savinho has started the new season injured so did not feature in last weekend's opener for City vs Wolves.

It gave Pep Guardiola the chance to answer the media's questions on the interest in his player. The City boss made clear he does not want a transfer to take place.

"If Tottenham in that case or any other club wants a player, they should call the club right?" said Guardiola. "It's the same like we do. I'm only concerned right now, today, that Savinho will be with us until the end of the season.

"And hopefully for many, many years. He's 21 years old with the potential that he has. He's played a lot of minutes, he has to improve in the final decisions.

"But he's an extraordinary player, otherwise he would not have played more than 3,000 minutes.

"But in the end, as always, the desire of the players prevails above everything. But they have to arrive to an agreement with the club."
