- Man City put Savinho on market as Enzo Maresca prepares to replace Pep Guardiola as manager
- Savinho has struggled for minutes in his second season at the Etihad Stadium
- Tottenham move broke down last summer before winger penned new deal till 2031
Savinho will be allowed to leave Manchester City for a fee between £50-60 million this summer, as per reports from Brazil.
The 22-year-old has struggled for minutes this season and dropped down the pecking order after an indifferent debut season at the Etihad Stadium, following which he nearly departed Manchester City last summer.
In the closing stages of the previous transfer window, Tottenham expressed a strong interest in the Brazilian winger, who was rewarded with a new contract till 2031 by the Manchester City board at the start of the season.

Despite being open to making the move to north London, Savinho‘s transfer to Tottenham – despite a reported offer of £70 million – was blocked by Manchester City chief executive Ferran Soriano.
Reports: Man City ready to sell Savinho
A major first-team rebuild in the offing at the Etihad Stadium as Enzo Maresca prepares to succeed Pep Guardiola as Manchester City manager to progress director of football Hugo Viana‘s work in revamping the ranks.
As reported by ESPN Brasil, Manchester City have decided to part ways with Savinho for £50-60 million in the upcoming transfer window as the Blues anticipate widespread interest in the winger.
The report states that Savinho is deemed surplus to requirements at City, whose board have come to a consensus of putting the Brazilian on the market ahead of what is expected to be a busy summer of incomings and outgoings at the Etihad Stadium.
City are expected to sanction a long list of exits ahead of the 2026-27 season, with Maresca understood to have held preliminary talks with Viana over summer transfer plans ahead of plans to meet with Guardiola to understand the squad he is inheriting from the Catalan.
What will Man City’s summer window look like?
Maresca and Viana have the impossible job of navigating life at Manchester City beyond Guardiola, who is set to bring the curtain down on an illustrious, trophy-laden decade in England’s north-west with a cup double in his final season.

City are frontrunners to sign Nottingham Forest and England star Elliot Anderson to bolster their midfield, with club captain Bernardo Silva leaving on a free transfer when his contract expires in June.
The Blues will also assess the market for a new right-back, though Matheus Nunes‘ outstanding displays in the position could make that less of a priority as Maresca evaluates the group of players he is taking over from Guardiola.
Maresca is set to recall former Manchester City goalkeeper Willy Caballero into his coaching staff as an exciting summer of change beckons at the Etihad Stadium.
