Tottenham Hotspur have not given up their pursuit of an exciting Premier League winger as his future remains uncertain ahead of the summer.
Many Spurs fans were frustrated at the club’s inability to strengthen their attack in January and the Lilywhites are now paying for that a bit, with relegation appearing a very real possibility for the club amidst their injury crisis.
Should Tottenham get out of trouble and secure their Premier League status, one would expect them to prioritise adding firepower to their forward line.
One Man City star has been a long-term Spurs target, and it appears they are refusing to end their interest in the player.
Tottenham eye Savinho as he faces an uncertain future at Man City
Journalist Mark Brus has told CaughtOffside that, according to his contacts, Savinho is not certain to be at Man City next summer despite recently signing a new contract.
He reveals that Tottenham showed a ‘strong interest’ in the Brazilian last summer and even made a £70m offer, which was swiftly rejected by Man City.
The interest of the North London club in Savinho has not gone away, but there have not been any fresh contacts recently regarding a summer deal.
The journalist reveals that Juventus and some La Liga clubs also have their eye on the 21-year-old, but he adds that the winger is happy at the Etihad Stadium for the time being.
Spurs may need to break the bank for Savinho
However, Brus also states that some of his sources at City have made it clear that Savinho is ‘untouchable’.
The club’s sporting director, Hugo Viana, is ‘convinced’ about the former Girona man’s potential, while Pep Guardiola believes that he could mould him into a ‘world-class winger’.
Brus asserts that City may only entertain a summer sale of Savinho if they receive an offer of around £75m–£80m, which would represent a transfer record outlay for Tottenham.
