Tottenham Hit Wall in £70m Savinho Pursuit

Manchester City have made their position clear regarding Tottenham target Savinho, describing the Brazilian winger as 'untouchable' despite the north London club's reported £70 million bid last summer. The 23-year-old has attracted interest from Juventus and La Liga clubs, but City remain firm with their stance due to his contract until 2031 and his potential under Pep Guardiola.

City's internal assessment differs from external scrutiny of Savinho's numbers (2 goals, 2 assists in 23 appearances), with technical director Hugo Viana 'convinced' by his trajectory. The Premier League champions would demand £75m-£80m for any potential sale, a figure that appears theoretical given their current strategy.
