Manchester City have made a decisive move in the transfer market by blocking Savinho’s potential exit, despite mounting interest from top European clubs. Tottenham Hotspur were reportedly prepared to submit a bid exceeding €70 million for the Brazilian winger, but City remain firm in their stance to keep him as part of their long-term project.
According to Fabrizio Romano, City view Savinho as a crucial figure in their future squad and have no intention of entertaining offers, regardless of their size. The 20-year-old, currently enjoying a breakout season, has attracted attention across Europe with his pace, dribbling, and attacking versatility. However, City are determined to ensure his development continues under their watch.
This decision has also had a ripple effect on another high-profile transfer link. Talks of a possible deal involving Real Madrid’s Rodrygo moving to Manchester City will no longer progress. City had been monitoring the Brazilian forward, but their firm stance on Savinho means any such negotiations have effectively been halted before advancing.
Savinho’s importance to Pep Guardiola’s squad cannot be understated. With City competing on multiple fronts, the club believes retaining young talents like him is vital to maintaining squad depth and quality.
