According to TBR reporter Graeme Bailey, Tottenham still tried to sign Savigno on the transfer deadline, but was stopped by Manchester City coach Guardiola.
It is understood that Tottenham is still negotiating with Manchester City on the transfer deadline, hoping to reactivate the deal to introduce Savignho. As early as early August, Tottenham had the opportunity to sign the Brazilian player and expressed great interest in it. However, after weeks of negotiations, Manchester City manager Guardiola prevented Savignho from joining Tottenham, causing the deal to fail.
Tottenham was preparing to break the transfer fee record of £65 million to introduce the 21-year-old, but Manchester City refused to let him go. According to TBR Football chief reporter Graeme Bailey, Tottenham may try to sign Savignho again in January.
Spurs are reportedly willing to pay £69 million for Savignho, which will break their transfer fee record. Savigno himself is also very interested in joining Tottenham and actively promotes the transfer.
Pele said in an interview: "Tottenham is willing to break the transfer fee record to introduce Savigno, which shows a lot of problems. The two sides are still negotiating on Monday morning, and Tottenham still has a glimmer of hope to convince Manchester City to sell the players."
"The players themselves also want to transfer, he is impressed by Tottenham, and Tottenham is also very satisfied with him. They like his attitude. The willingness of the players to join is a positive signal for the club."
The key is how many opportunities Savignho can get under Guardiola in the next few months. Currently, he missed the early season game with a minor injury. "I think there's a good chance that Tottenham will try to sign him again, but it depends on how he's doing at Manchester City in the coming months."
Head coach Frank now needs to find a replacement to fill the left-wing position due to failure to sign another attacker on the transfer deadline. Johnson's poor performance against Bournemouth has disappointed fans even more.
Tel and Odobel are the most likely candidates, and Muani is also competent for this position. In addition, Harvey Simmons is also an option, and he played on the left wing at Red Bull Leipzig for most of last season.
