Savinho’s future has been one of the biggest question marks surrounding the state of both Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur’s attacks going forward this season.
Savinho was open to joining Tottenham but in football, all parties involved must be on the same page for a deal to go through.
Manchester City signed the Brazilian from Troyes last summer and his rumored exit seemed too premature for a player who has the promise of reaching the absolute top under Pep Guardiola.
Pep Guardiola recently described Savinho as “extraordinary” and throughout reports emerging around his possible exit, the Catalan boss has seemed like he still considers him a key part of his plans.

Man City have told Tottenham they are set to keep Savinho
However, after a point, City would have come around to the idea of potentially letting Savinho leave if his heart was indeed set on becoming a Spurs player.
Manchester City’s asking price for Savinho was £69 million, which goes to show that they did not rule out the idea of selling him.

However, Fabrizio Romano has claimed that after the two clubs held talks on Wednesday, Manchester City “informed” Tottenham that they intend to keep Savinho.

Tottenham believe Savinho is a top talent and so do Manchester City, as they are unwilling to let him leave for even a fee over €70 million (£60.3 million).
City believe the 21-year-old is a “key player” for them this season and in the future and as his exit is no longer on the cards, Rodrygo is set to stay at Real Madrid as well.
Whether Savinho has burned his bridges with Man City after Tottenham transfer saga
