Tottenham Hotspur remain confident of signing Manchester City winger Savinho, with direct negotiations between the two clubs continuing after weeks of discussions.
The Brazilian has been Spurs’ priority target since June, with the North London club pushing to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the new season.
However, any agreement will depend on Manchester City’s plans to sign a replacement before sanctioning Savinho’s departure.
Softfootball reported back in May that Manchester City had begun assessing potential winger targets amid growing interest from Tottenham. While Spurs identified Savinho as a leading target, City made it clear they would only consider a sale if a suitable replacement became available.
The Premier League champions are not planning a major overhaul of their squad, meaning the outcome of the transfer will hinge on developments in the market over the coming weeks.
Tottenham remain optimistic that a deal can be completed, but City are expected to maintain a firm stance until their own succession plan is in place.
