Tottenham update from Fabrizio Romano as Savinho shares intriguing photo on social media

Fabrizio Romano has shared a fresh update on Savinho following Pep Guardiola’s recent comments, as Tottenham continue to chase the 21-year-old winger.

Spurs have already brought in five new players this summer, but gaps in the squad remain evident, particularly in attacking midfield. Morgan Gibbs-White was originally the top target, but that pursuit collapsed after negotiations broke down. Since then, Eberechi Eze has been considered for the number 10 role, while Heung-min Son’s departure has also forced the club to look at wide options — with Manchester City’s Savinho now firmly on their radar.

Romano’s latest Savinho update
Ahead of City’s match against Wolves, Guardiola addressed questions about Savinho, explaining the Brazilian’s absence was due to injury while keeping speculation about his future alive. Romano has since reported that despite Guardiola’s remarks, Tottenham remain in active talks with City and still see Savinho as their priority signing. He also pointed out the winger’s Instagram post showing him working out in the gym, just hours after Guardiola had claimed he was sidelined.

Rejected bid slows down negotiations
Guardiola has stressed City’s desire to keep Savinho long term but also warned that any deal will only happen if their valuation is met. Reports suggest Spurs lodged a £42m bid, which City rejected for being below expectations. Negotiations are ongoing, and with Savinho himself open to a move, the transfer now appears to depend on whether Tottenham are willing to raise their offer to match City’s asking price.
