Tottenham Suffer Setback in £70m Savinho Chase

Tottenham Hotspur have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho, with the Premier League champions considering him 'untouchable' despite Spurs' interest.

Manchester City have made it clear that Brazilian winger Savinho is not for sale, despite Tottenham Hotspur's reported interest. The North London club had a £70 million bid rejected last summer, and City remain firm in their stance that the 20-year-old is considered 'untouchable' until his contract runs until 2031.

Any potential transfer would begin at £75-80 million, making a deal unlikely for Tottenham. Savinho, who has scored two goals and provided two assists in 23 appearances this season, is happy at City and focused on establishing himself. Juventus and La Liga clubs are also monitoring the situation, but Tottenham's path appears blocked unless circumstances change at Manchester City.
