Manchester City have identified a replacement for Tottenham Hotspur target Savinho, as the Lilywhites continue to edge closer to a deal for the Brazil international.
Tottenham Hotspur have not given up in their pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho this summer transfer window.
Instead, reports claim that Spurs are now advancing in talks with City as they look to complete a double swoop of Savinho and Omar Marmoush this summer.
A deal for the pair is expected to cost Tottenham over £100 million, with some outlets stating that Spurs will have to pay £150 million to bring both Savinho and Marmoush to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Manchester City work on Allan Elias deal as Tottenham target Savinho
With less than two weeks left before the summer transfer window slams shut, City now look to be preparing for life without the 22-year-old Brazilian.
That is according to The Athletic‘s David Ornstein, who claims that Manchester City are working on a deal for Allan Elias from Palmeiras.
The 22-year-old winger is understood to be one of multiple targets City have identified this transfer window as Tottenham advance in talks for Savinho.
Elias has scored six goals already this season in all competitions and managed six goals and five assists in 2025 after 48 appearances for his boyhood club.

However, the 22-year-old is not expected to come cheap. It is believed that Allan has a release clause of €100 million (£86 million).
Palmeiras are also not keen on selling the 22-year-old, with the Brazilian side believed to be maintaining their stand that the wide forward is not for sale.
Tottenham will now be hoping City can get a deal over the line, as securing a replacement for Savinho will open the door for the Brazil international to join Spurs this summer.
