Premier League
On Tuesday, August 18, 2026, Tottenham has made progress in negotiations with Manchester City to close the signings of Savinho and Omar Marmoush. De Zerbi is looking for a new offensive approach.
According to The Athletic, the Spurs are looking to finalize a transfer deal for both forwards before the end of the summer transfer window, having already spent a total of 229.5 million pounds on their signings this transfer window.
Savinho's Situation and Manchester City's Attack Figures
Savinho was left out of the 21-player squad by coach Enzo Maresca in the Community Shield final, which Manchester City lost 3-0 to Arsenal last Sunday. Tottenham previously negotiated for the Brazilian international in August 2025 for 50 million euros (43.3 million pounds), but the player renewed until 2031 after arriving from Troyes for 40 million euros, making only 7 starts in the last Premier League.
The Brazilian winger had a successful loan spell at Girona during the 2023/2024 season with 11 goals and 10 assists in 37 games. His lack of playing time under Maresca has reopened the possibility of moving to London to join the White Hart Lane side.
Omar Marmoush's Inclusion and Tottenham's Summer Investment
On the other hand, Marmoush came on as a substitute in the second half of the Community Shield, replacing Erling Haaland. The 27-year-old Egyptian international joined Manchester City in January 2025 from Eintracht Frankfurt after scoring 37 goals in 67 matches, ending the last season with 8 goals in 36 games and representing his country in the 2026 World Cup.
Tottenham's spending exceeds 229.5 million pounds after signing Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Jan Paul van Hecke, and also adding Marcos Senesi, Andy Robertson, and Martin Dubravka as free agents. Discussions between the boards are ongoing to finalize the fixed payment structure and performance-related variables.
Tottenham and Manchester City officials will hold an in-person meeting on Wednesday, August 19. In this meeting, they hope to agree on the overall fee for the joint transfer of Savinho and Marmoush, allowing both players to travel to London for medical exams before the weekend.
