City knocked back an enquiry for the Brazil international, revealed earlier in the week, and are thought to only be entertaining offers of more than £50million. Spurs will go again for Savinho, who cost £31m from Troyes this time last year and made 48 appearances during his debut season under Pep Guardiola. City possess Phil Foden and Oscar Bobb as competition on the right wing – with Rayan Cherki capable of operating out there too. But Savinho was noticeably given the nod for City’s two biggest matches at the Club World Cup, the victory over Juventus and defeat by Al Hilal. The 21-year-old is, however, uncertain over his future role at the Etihad Stadium and Tottenham are looking to pounce. Spurs are planning another approach for Savinho after initial interest was rebuffed by Man City City are demanding £50m for the 21-year-old Brazil international, whom they signed for £31m Were City to do business with Spurs, they would turn their attentions to Real Madrid superstar and Savinho’s international team-mate Rodrygo. Rodrygo has been a constant thorn in City’s side during the titanic Champions League battles of recent seasons and is thought to want a fresh challenge away from the Bernabeu. Khaldoon Al Mubarak had promised aggression in the transfer market, with City having brought in five new faces either side of the Club World Cup. Landing Rodrygo and Gianluigi Donnarumma, the latter in the potential eventuality of Ederson leaving, would signify a serious show of intent. City still need to let a number of non-homegrown players go to avoid having to omit anybody from their European squad, which limits the number of registered foreign stars.
