Manchester City winger Savinho appears set to commit his future to the club after a summer of transfer speculation involving Tottenham Hotspur.<\/p>\n
Reports in recent weeks suggested Savinho had indicated interest in a move to Spurs, believing Frank would be able to offer him more consistent minutes in the build-up to the World Cup. That interest \u2014 and City\u2019s refusal of two bids \u2014 left negotiations tense as Deadline Day approached, with City reported to have identified Real Madrid\u2019s Rodrygo as their preferred replacement should a sale go through.<\/p>\n
With only 16 minutes of Premier League action so far this season, talk of a renewed approach from Tottenham intensified. But Fabrizio Romano reports an imminent contract extension is on the way. City and Savinho are in the final stages of an agreement which is set to keep the 21-year-old at the Etihad Stadium for “the long term”.<\/p>\n
Savinho joined Pep Guardiola\u2019s side from fellow City Football Group club Troyes in 2024 and quickly became an influential figure. He finished his debut season with 13 assists and three goals across all competitions while making 21 Premier League starts.<\/p>\n
A mystery injury kept Savinho out of the opening weeks of the current campaign, prompting questions about how the summer interest affected his situation. He has since returned to action, featuring in City\u2019s last four matches and registering his first goal of the season in the Carabao Cup victory over Huddersfield Town.<\/p>\n
City\u2019s decision to resist offers and pursue a replacement was driven by timing and squad planning, with talks over Savinho and potential transfers ultimately too protracted for a last-minute solution. The developing contract extension suggests the club now plans to retain the Brazilian for the foreseeable future, stabilising a story that dominated transfer headlines this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
