Tottenham Hotspur have finalized the high-profile acquisition of Brazilian winger Sávio Moreira de Oliveira, known as Savinho from Manchester City in a transfer package valued up to £85 million.
Under the structure of the agreement, the North London club will commit £75 million upfront, supplemented by £10 million in potential performance-related add-ons. The 22-year-old forward – who has opted to revert to his birth name Sávio rather than Savinho – will occupy the squad’s No. 17 shirt and represents a flagship signing in head coach Roberto De Zerbi’s ongoing squad overhaul.
Why did Tottenham sign Savinho from Man City?
Sávio departs Manchester City following an 84-match stint yields seven goals across two seasons, a tenure preceded by an influential loan campaign with La Liga side Girona that established his reputation across European football. De Zerbi emphasized the winger’s dynamic dribbling, inventive playmaking, and directness in isolated wide positions as key factors behind the move.
The acquisition pushes Spurs’ total summer transfer expenditure past £300 million, signaling a substantial financial commitment to revitalize the first-team roster following a challenging previous season.
