Pep Guardiola Blocks Savinho’s Move to Tottenham
Big news is coming out of Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur this week, and it’s all about the Brazilian winger, Savinho. There had been plenty of talk about a possible record-breaking move to Tottenham, but according to sources, Pep Guardiola has firmly closed the door on that transfer. The 21-year-old, who only joined City last summer from Girona, will be staying put at the Etihad for the upcoming season.
Savinho has made a significant impact in his debut season, featuring in 29 Premier League matches and nine Champions League games, and contributing ten assists across all competitions. His performances clearly caught the attention of Spurs, especially after Tottenham found themselves in urgent need of an attacking option following James Maddison’s serious injury. Despite the interest from north London, Guardiola is determined to keep him.

It’s reported that Savinho’s agents even flew in from Brazil hoping to push the deal through, and there were whispers that the young winger was open to the idea of moving to Spurs to secure more regular Premier League football, especially with the World Cup coming up. However, Manchester City’s valuation of around £67 million has made the move complicated, and Guardiola’s insistence on retaining him seems to have settled the matter for now.
Guardiola himself has spoken highly of Savinho’s potential. Back in January, after a standout performance that included a hat-trick of assists in a 4-1 win over West Ham, Guardiola praised the winger’s mindset and adaptability. He emphasized that while Savinho still has areas to improve—like off-the-ball aggression—he possesses something special that can help the team immediately. The message is clear: City sees him as a key part of their plans, not someone to be sold off after just one season.
Meanwhile, Tottenham haven’t given up on strengthening their squad. They are actively pursuing Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, another exciting attacking talent, and appear to be getting closer to completing that deal. Spurs have also made a positive start to the season, winning comfortably against Burnley and almost taking Paris Saint-Germain to penalties in the recent Super Cup.
So, for now, fans can expect Savinho to remain at Manchester City, continuing his development under Guardiola while Tottenham shifts their focus elsewhere. It’s a reminder that in football, even the most talked-about transfers can be blocked when a top manager believes a player is too valuable to let go.
