Tottenham Hotspur have now learned whether Manchester City will entertain the sale of Savinho in January.
Reports indicate that Spurs have agreed a fee with Crystal Palace for the sale of Brennan Johnson, and the Man City man is one of the players the Lilywhites have identified as a potential replacement for the Wales international.
Spurs are expected to reignite their interest in Savinho after failing to get a deal for the Brazilian over the line during the summer transfer window.
It was previously reported that Man City could let Savinho leave if they land Semenyo from Bournemouth, but the Lilywhites’ hopes have now been dashed.
Man City make a decision on Tottenham target Savinho
Some journalists have suggested over recent days that Spurs may struggle to agree a fee with Man City for Savinho.
Now, a new report in Sky Sports’ Match Centre has dashed the Lilywhites’ hopes of securing the 21-year-old.
The outlet says that Pep Guardiola’s men have no intention of selling the winger in the upcoming transfer window. The Brazil international, who recently penned a new contract at the Etihad Stadium, is expected to remain at City until the end of the season.
Spurs are expected to reach out to Savinho
A couple of days ago, a report in TEAMtalk claimed that Tottenham will reach out to Savinho to find out if he is keen on moving to N17.
The outlet stated that the winger wanted to join Spurs last summer, and the North London club wish to find out if his mind has changed or not.
It was explained that should Savinho express a desire to remain at Man City and fight for a place in the side, Tottenham will not bother testing the waters with an offer for the winger.
