City only signed Savinho a year ago for around £35m ($47.5m) but now they appear to be ready to cash in on the 21-year-old. Tottenham have already had a £42m ($57m) offer rejected for the Brazilian but now it seems a new bid could come City's way. The report adds that Savinho wants to 'star as a Premier League regular', rather than be a fringe player in the lead up to the 2026 World Cup.
DID YOU KNOW?
Savinho, who still has four years left on his City deal, has scored three goals and bagged 13 assists in 48 games for Pep Guardiola's team so far. The former Troyes man has not quite lived up to the promise he showed on loan at Girona, where he scored 11 goals and added 10 assists in the 2023-24 campaign.

If Savinho does leave City, that may lead Guardiola's team to pursue Real Madrid winger Rodrygo – who has been linked with a summer transfer exit. But whether Tottenham can get closer to City's asking price for Savinho is up in the air.
