A new report has shed light on the expected value of Tottenham’s deal for Savinho as the Lilywhites step up negotiations with Manchester City.
It has emerged over recent hours that Savinho has agreed personal terms with Spurs ahead of a possible move to North London.
Several reliable sources, including Fabrizio Romano, have asserted that the Man City man is keen on completing a move to Tottenham, having also wanted to make the move to N17 last summer.
The Italian journalist added that all that is left is for City and Spurs to iron out their differences, and it appears that outcome may not be far away.
Tottenham advancing on £60m deal for Savinho
The Daily Mail have now revealed that Spurs are ‘advancing in talks’ with the Manchester club regarding a deal for the 22-year-old, who has been on the Lilywhites’ radar for a while.
The report states that Roberto De Zerbi’s side and City are holding negotiations on a deal worth around £60m for Savinho.
Talks are also ongoing between the two Premier League giants on the structure of the deal, which is expected to include add-ons and bonuses.
The report adds that City asked for over £70m from Tottenham for Savinho last summer, with the price thus falling by over £10m over the last 12 months.
Would Savinho improve Tottenham’s starting line-up?
Not all Spurs fans are convinced Savinho is the player the club needs, especially at the prices being reported.
That is mainly down to how the Brazilian’s lack of minutes last season, with the 22-year-old struggling to make an impression when opportunities did come his way.
However, one should not forget that Savinho registered 16 goal contributions in 48 appearances in his first season at City, which clearly demonstrates the raw ability that the Brazilian possesses.
