Fabrizio Romano, a European transfer market expert who is synonymous with here WE GO, said on his SNS on the 28th (Korea time) that Manchester City prevented Savinho from transferring. Tottenham prepared more than 70 million euros (about 113.4 billion won), but Manchester City decided to keep Savinho for the future, stressing that `Man City judges Savinho as an important part of its power regardless of any offer and plans to continue to prevent the transfer.'
It has been argued that if Savinho moves to Tottenham, Manchester City will recruit Real Madrid's Hodrigu. Romano said that due to Savinho's stay, Hodrigo's serial transfer has also stopped.
Son Heung-min and Tottenham's 10-year companion recently came to an end. Savinho was the alternative. Born in Brazil, he rented PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands and Girona in Spain and settled in Manchester City in July last year. The transfer fee was 30.8 million pounds (about 58 billion won) including options.
Savinho played in 29 games in the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season, scoring one goal and eight assists. There were 21 starts. Compared to playing in 37 games in La Liga in the 2023-2024 season when he was on loan from Girona, his form was poor compared to scoring nine goals and 10 assists.

Savinho had a lot of affection for Manchester City, but he was forward-looking about the transfer. However, Manchester City decided to join Savinho despite the offer that nearly doubled in ransom.
Pep Guardiola, manager of Manchester City, was also negative about Savinho's recent transfer. "If a player wants to transfer, whether it's Tottenham or another team, he can contact the team properly. The same goes for us" "We hope to be with Savinho for a long time to come. He's 21 years old, and he has plenty of potential." And "Savinho is an outstanding player. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to run for more than 3,000 minutes," he stressed.
Tottenham acquired João Palinha after Mohamed Qudus in the transfer market this summer. However, since then, he has been struggling in recruitment matches.
Morgan Gibbs-Tried to sign White but failed. Nottingham Forest protested that they had never given permission to negotiate a transfer, and that was not the case.
Eberechi Eze was 'hijacked' by Arsenal in front of his eyes. Tottenham and Crystal Palace have agreed to transfer Eze after 10 days of negotiations. But within a day, the contract was overturned. Arsenal re-entered Kai Havertz's bid to sign him after he was feared to be absent for a long time due to a knee injury, and succeeded in an all-time turnaround.
