Mansion Sports – Savinho is reportedly putting pressure on Manchester City to approve his £60 million move to Tottenham Hotspur, as he seeks the opportunity to play regularly in the first team.

The Brazilian winger has struggled to secure a consistent starting position at the Etihad and views a move to north London as the perfect opportunity to revive his career.

Savinho Targets Move to North London

The 22-year-old winger has emerged as Tottenham’s primary target as they look to rebuild their squad after finishing 17th in the league for two consecutive seasons.

After being a long-standing player monitored by Spurs’ recruitment team, Savinho is now actively pushing for a move to work with Roberto De Zerbi, according to reports from The Sun.

Manchester City are reportedly open to selling the player at the right price, with negotiations currently centered around a valuation of £60 million.

That figure is slightly lower than the £70 million asking price placed on the forward one year ago.

De Zerbi Wants to Strengthen the Attack

De Zerbi has openly expressed his desire to reshape the squad into a more attacking team.

The Italian coach believes Savinho’s natural pace and creativity are the perfect elements for his tactical system.

The club has shown significant financial support for the former Brighton manager following a major spending spree at the beginning of the transfer window, but De Zerbi has insisted that Spurs’ transfer activity is "not finished yet."

Tottenham have completed several major transfers, including the signings of Sandro Tonali from Newcastle for £100 million, Mateus Fernandes from West Ham for £85 million, as well as defender Jan Paul van Hecke for a fee of £52 million.

Despite the enormous spending, the club’s hierarchy remains committed to bringing in at least two more attacking players.

Growing Pressure at the Etihad

Savinho’s contract at the Etihad Stadium still has three years remaining, but his limited playing time has become a major issue. Last season, the winger made only 14 starts across all competitions during a campaign affected by various injuries.

Although he arrived from sister club Troyes with high expectations after enjoying a successful spell at Girona, he failed to displace Manchester City’s established stars in the starting lineup.

Interest has also arrived from abroad, with AC Milan monitoring the situation of the Brazilian international.

However, the attraction of remaining in the Premier League and working under an attack-minded coach such as De Zerbi appears to make the player favor a move to London.

"New Ambition" Highlights Club’s Change in Mentality

The club’s aggressive approach in the transfer market has received praise from senior players, including Micky van de Ven, who believes that the "new ambition" is the necessary response to previous failures.

The defender said:

"It is very good to see that the club has made some changes. You can see that the club has a new ambition. That is something very important for the players who have been here for a long time. Last season was a season full of pressure, unacceptable from our side, so leaving all of that behind and entering a new season with a fresh spirit means a lot."

As the team prepares for friendly matches against Sydney FC and Chelsea, integrating the high-profile new arrivals remains the top priority for De Zerbi’s technical staff.
