Tottenham Hotspur have agreed an £85m fee with Manchester City to sign winger Savinho.
The deal will take Spurs’ spending this summer past £300m and make the Brazilian City’s club record sale.
The fee consists of a basic sum of £75m plus £10m in add-ons, of which £5m is guaranteed, ensuring City will receive at least £80m.
Spurs, who have been in talks about Omar Marmoush, could make it a double deal of arrivals from City.
Savinho will become one of the three most expensive players in their history, with all recruited by Roberto De Zerbi this summer after Mateus Fernandes’ £85m move from West Ham and Sandro Tonali’s £100m transfer from Newcastle.
They have also paid Brighton £52m for defender Jan Paul van Hecke and brought in free transfers Martin Dubravka, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi, with the possibility a deal for Marmoush, who cost City £59m in January 2025, could push their expenditure up towards £400m.
Savinho has made City a huge profit after arriving from their sister club Troyes for £30.8m in 2024. While he never represented the French club, he helped Girona – another member of the City Football Group – qualify for the Champions League during a year on loan in Spain.
He scored seven goals in 84 games for City, but only found the net twice in the Premier League and lost his place to January signing Antoine Semenyo.
City are interested in Palmeiras winger Allan as they look for a replacement while Savinho’s sale will take their income from transfers this summer to around £235m, with Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders, Nathan Ake and James Trafford already going.
