Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are in advanced discussions over a financial agreement that could see Brazilian winger Savinho make a move to North London.

The negotiations have gathered significant momentum, with the total transfer value estimated to be close to £60 million.

In preparation for a possible departure, City’s Sporting Director Hugo Viana has started analysing potential replacements, with an Everton player reportedly among the shortlisted options.

According to the latest developments, Manchester City could agree to a major transfer fee for the sale of their highly-rated Brazilian talent Savinho to Tottenham this summer.

With the summer transfer window opening on June 15, City’s incoming manager Enzo Maresca is collaborating closely with Hugo Viana to manage the senior squad’s structure in the post-Pep Guardiola era.

While the Blues aim to assemble a strong side capable of reclaiming the Premier League title from Arsenal, the opportunity to secure a substantial profit from the 22-year-old forward presents an intriguing financial decision for the Etihad Stadium hierarchy.

Tottenham’s recruitment team is pushing to finalise the main aspects of the transfer before the FIFA World Cup begins, despite Savinho not being included in Brazil’s squad for the tournament in North America.

For Manchester City, completing a major outgoing transfer early in the window would allow them to maintain financial flexibility before the rest of their first-team players return to the City Football Academy for pre-season training in July.

Reports from MailSport’s Simon Jones indicate that Tottenham are progressing in talks for a deal worth around £60 million for Manchester City winger Savinho, with current discussions focusing on how the payment structure will be arranged.

Sources suggest that any agreement for the Brazilian will include performance-related add-ons and bonuses, while City plan to re-enter the transfer market to secure a new winger, with Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye among the names being considered.

If financial terms are formally settled soon, the £60 million boost would provide Hugo Viana with additional resources to reshape Enzo Maresca’s attacking options as required by the new manager.

Interest in Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye further indicates City’s potential strategy shift toward proven Premier League players, following the January arrivals of Marc Guehi and Antoine Semenyo.

As discussions continue regarding the payment instalments, the deal could become one of the most expensive domestic transfers in recent years. Manchester City, on the other hand, will view it as another successful demonstration of the City Football Group (CFG) model as a profitable and effective talent development system.
