Savinho is “open” to the idea of leaving Manchester City this summer amid strong interest from Tottenham Hot”spur once again, sources have told Football Insider.

The Citizens’ new manager is expected to have some say in where the winger’s future will lie, but the player himself is not content with the level of gametime that he has received at the Etihad Stadium.

Tottenham have held a long-term interest in the 22-year-old and came close to signing him last summer, and sources have indicated that they are prepared to hand him a key role in their team next term.

Savinho is firmly down the pecking order at City, and it is not expected that he will be able to break into the starting XI any time soon, even with the imminent change of manager.

Tottenham are planning a big summer in the transfer market after they narrowly avoided relegation, and that looks set to impact City’s own transfer plans.

How much would Man City demand for Savinho?

Pep Guardiola was the driving force behind City’s eventual decision to keep hold of Savinho last summer, as the saga surrounding his future ultimately ended with him signing a new contract.

However, the Spaniard continued to use the Brazilian in a bit-part role throughout the campaign, and it has now left him contemplating his future at the Etihad ahead of 2026-27.

The Citizens demanded a lofty price tag of around £60million in order to let the wideman depart last year, and the long-term deal that he penned at the start of the season will mean that the asking price is unlikely to alter drastically.

Tottenham are aware that it would be an expensive deal for them to get done, but they are eyeing a major rebuild after a second consecutive season spent battling relegation.

Savinho has been a long-term target for the North London outfit since his impressive debut campaign in the Premier League, and they are already working towards an eye-catching deal.

Pep Guardiola exit to spark move for major City star?

Football Insider revealed last week that Rodri could be tempted to leave Manchester City this summer, with Guardiola’s exit potentially changing the futures of many of their key stars.

The midfielder has been linked with a move to Real Madrid of late, and it is now understood that a move to the Spanish capital may appeal to him now that the Guardiola era has drawn to a close.

Contract talks between the club and the 29-year-old have continued to stall in recent weeks, and there is now a growing feeling that he could be on his way out the door this summer.

Rodri has been a stalwart in the Citizens’ success in recent years, but the door could now be open for him to move on, with Madrid lurking in the background.

Guardiola’s departure is expected to spark a summer of change at the Etihad, and both Rodri and Savinho could become big parts of the overhaul.
