Man City have reportedly blocked Savinho's proposed transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, despite the Brazilian's desire to leave the Etihad Stadium this summer. The move, which was reportedly gaining momentum before the closing of the summer transfer window, appears to have hit a major roadblock as City insist on retaining the forward.
Savinho was notably excluded from Manchester City's matchday squad for their season opener against Wolves last weekend, with manager Pep Guardiola later stating that he wants the attacker to remain at the club. Despite reports suggesting Savinho was keen on a fresh challenge at the Premier League's top tier, City are now prioritizing his development with the first team.
While Tottenham had reportedly opened discussions with City regarding a potential swap deal, sources close to the situation indicate that the club is awaiting a formal offer from the Premier League champions. The Brazilian midfielder has been linked with other European clubs, but City are said to be prioritizing retaining him for the upcoming season.
The decision to block the move has left Savinho and his camp disappointed, with a potential loan switch or permanent transfer now uncertain. City remain adamant about keeping Savinho happy as they aim to compete at the highest level in the upcoming campaign.
