Savinho is taking matters into his own hands as he attempts to push through a summer move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham have been frustrated with City’s antics during the negotiations over Savinho, with Spurs sources insisting that the Manchester club’s valuation has changed since the initial talks.
The Brazilian has made it clear to his employers that he wants to link up with Roberto De Zerbi’s side, in search of regular game time.
According to various sources, Spurs do not want the negotiations over Savinho to drag on much longer, and have even threatened to move on to other alternatives if a deal cannot be struck quickly.
Savinho is piling pressure on Man City to greenlight Tottenham switch
The Sun have claimed that the Lilywhites are now back in talks over a deal for the 22-year-old after he made it clear to his employers that he wants a new challenge away from the Etihad Stadium.
The report claims that Savinho is ‘piling pressure on Man City’ to let him leave as Spurs continue to be at the table for his services.
The North London club are working to land the former Girona man on a deal close to £60m, with the asking price down from the £70m they were quoted for the player last summer.
Tottenham are hopeful they can win the race for Savinho despite interest from AC Milan, with Roberto De Zerbi viewing him as a pacy wideman as a good fit for his system.
Savinho continues to throw hints about Spurs transfer
All through the summer, Savinho has sent several hints on social media regarding an impending move to Tottenham, making no secret of his desire to leave City.
He threw another big hint just a few days ago during Enzo Maresca’s side’s pre-season friendly against Inter Milan in Hong Kong.
Savinho gave a thumbs up to a Tottenham fan in the crowd after the supporter shouted “come to Spurs” to the winger.
