Savinho requests departure from Manchester City

Manchester City’s Brazilian winger Savinho has clearly expressed his desire to leave the English club during the current summer transfer window, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The 22-year-old Savinho seeks more playing time to continue his development, leaving the final decision now in the hands of Manchester City’s officials.

Tottenham Hotspur has been the most prominent club interested in signing Savinho for some time, and the London club is expected to intensify its negotiations in the coming days. The player welcomes the move, and personal terms are not expected to pose any obstacle to finalizing the deal.

Savinho recently returned to Manchester City’s training sessions under new Italian manager Enzo Maresca, but his future remains uncertain. Reports suggest the club is considering signing a replacement winger before approving his departure.

Manchester City is expected to resolve Savinho’s situation before announcing the squad for the pre-season tour in Hong Kong and South Korea. The team will play three friendly matches against Italian side Inter Milan, K League All-Stars, and Spanish club Atlético Madrid, before opening the season with the FA Community Shield against Arsenal, the league champions.
