Manchester City Extend Savinho Through 2031 With Option Year

The 21-year-old commits long term following Tottenham's summer pursuit.

Overview

  • City announced a two-year add-on to Savinho's previous 2029 deal, running to 2031 with an option for an additional year.
  • Tottenham made approaches in the summer, including a reported £43m offer that fell well short of City's valuation.
  • Savinho said he is proud to sign the new contract and credited Pep Guardiola's coaching with accelerating his development.
  • Director of football Hugo Viana praised Savinho's attributes and described his potential as limitless.
  • The extension fits City's longer-term planning for a youthful core, following recent renewals for Rico Lewis and Nico O'Reilly.
