Overview

• Manchester City have informed Tottenham that Savinho will not be sold this summer, closing the pursuit four days before the Monday 7 p.m. deadline.
• Tottenham were prepared to offer around £50 million, while City sought roughly double the £30 million they paid last year.
• Savinho has missed City's opening league matches with a minor issue but attended the recent 2-0 home defeat to Spurs.
• Pep Guardiola's attacking depth and admiration for the 21-year-old reduced the club's incentive to consider a sale.
• Tottenham are moving to alternative options after this setback, and City's exploratory look at Real Madrid's Rodrygo is now effectively off.
