Tottenham Hotspur are set to beat AC Milan to the signing of Manchester City winger Savinho, according to The Sun. Roberto De Zerbi is at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs have advanced direct negotiations with Manchester City, with Roberto De Zerbi identifying Savinho as a priority for his attacking rebuild at Hotspur Way. The Italian manager is looking to add pace and dynamism to Tottenham’s frontline.

While Tottenham are offering guaranteed up-front capital, AC Milan have entered the race with a different financial approach. The Serie A side have proposed a loan deal with a mandatory purchase obligation to balance their summer transfer budget. However, Manchester City strongly favour a direct permanent transfer, giving Tottenham a decisive advantage in negotiations.

Savinho, who joined Manchester City after a standout campaign with Girona in La Liga, is keen to secure guaranteed first-team minutes after finding opportunities limited in Pep Guardiola’s crowded squad.

Unless AC Milan move quickly to match Tottenham’s direct purchase offer, Savinho is expected to complete his move to London in the coming days.

Tottenham have also been linked with Paris Saint-Germain’s Ibrahim Mbaye as they search for further attacking reinforcements, but would likely need to pay more than €50 million for the highly rated teenager.
