Sávio seeks Manchester City exit: PSV Eindhoven linked with transfer
Sávio (22), the Brazilian winger for Manchester City, is looking to leave the English club. Reports indicate that Tottenham Hotspur is interested in the player, who was brought in last year as a replacement for Son Heung-min. PSV Eindhoven, where Sávio played on loan in 2024, is mentioned as a potential destination.
What happened?
Sávio has expressed his desire to leave Manchester City to gain more playing time. According to Fabrizio Romano, a transfer market expert, Sávio is a priority for Tottenham and their manager Roberto De Zerbi. The Brazilian played 29 Premier League matches last season but scored only one goal and provided eight assists. This is a decline compared to his loan spell at PSV Eindhoven, where he scored nine goals and made ten assists in 37 matches during the 2023-2024 season.
Why it matters for PSV Eindhoven
PSV Eindhoven, who won the Eredivisie last season with 74 points and a 19-point lead over Feyenoord, could use Sávio to strengthen their attack. The club scored 84 goals and conceded only 40 last season. With a home match against Twente (February 14, 2027) coming up, an experienced player like Sávio could be a welcome addition.
What comes next?
Manchester City, now under the management of Enzo Maresca, is willing to let Sávio leave. Tottenham has planned a bid of £60 million, but PSV Eindhoven could also be interested. Sávio, who was not selected for the World Cup in North America last year, is looking for a new challenge. Jerdy Schouten, who is currently injured, could benefit from a strong attacker like Sávio.
