Savinho Misses Manchester City Training as Tottenham Move Gathers Momentum

Manchester City winger Savinho missed training on Thursday as speculation surrounding his potential move to Tottenham Hotspur intensifies.

According to Fabrizio Romano, City sources confirmed that the 22-year-old was absent from the session because of illness, with The Athletic's Sam Lee also reporting the same reason. However, Romano added that Savinho has once again made his position clear this week: he wants to leave Manchester City and join Tottenham.

Savinho had already informed Manchester City of his desire to leave earlier in the summer, with the Brazilian seeking more regular playing time. Tottenham have remained interested in signing him and are continuing talks with City over a possible deal.

The two clubs have yet to reach a final agreement, with reports suggesting the transfer could require a package worth around £60 million or more.

Savinho's latest absence comes at a significant moment in negotiations, although there is no indication that his failure to train was connected to the transfer. City have formally attributed it to illness.

With Tottenham still pushing and Savinho reportedly determined to move to North London, negotiations could now enter a decisive stage before the transfer window closes.
