City stands firm: rejects €100m offer for Savinho
Tottenham reaches Manchester City's asking price for Savinho, but the Citizens continue to block the move.
The Savinho deal is moving but remains stuck. Tottenham has matched Manchester City's initial asking price of €100 million, but the Citizens are holding firm in their rejection, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The Spurs have long wanted the Brazilian winger, 22, and already have a personal agreement with the player. However, De Zerbi sees the former Girona man as a key piece of his project and won't back down. City, for their part, continues to play hardball in negotiations with lengthy talks still ahead.
Meanwhile, Savinho missed training with his teammates on Thursday. The official line points to a physical issue, though the timing—with the deal heating up—has sparked speculation. The Citizens face Arsenal in the Community Shield this Sunday, and his participation remains uncertain.
