Manchester City Agree Record Savinho Sale to Tottenham in Overhaul
Manchester City are reportedly selling winger Savinho to Tottenham for £85 million.
If completed, it would be the biggest sale in Manchester City’s history.
The clubs have not officially announced the deal yet.
Savinho joined City in 2024 after playing well on loan at Girona.
He scored two goals in 53 Premier League appearances for City.
City have also sold several other important players during a major squad rebuild.
Tottenham have been spending heavily to improve after finishing 17th in the Premier League twice.
City coach Enzo Maresca said Savinho had wanted to leave, while Tottenham may also be interested in another City player, Omar Marmoush.
