The transfer of initiate Fabrizio Romano brought clarifications on the reported interest of Manchester City for a possible replacement of Savinho, which was linked to Tottenham this week.

Manchester City argues that they do not wish to sell Savinho and examine the attacking part of 21 years of their plans for the 2025-26 campaign, with the Brazilian international as part of a long-term contract at the Etihad stadium only joined Troyes in 2024.

However, sources close to the Etihad stadium stressed this week that the city values Savinho north of 50 million pounds sterling and will consider only a proposal for the winger if he informs the managers of the club of desire to leave the blues.

It will be interesting to see if Pep Guardiola selects the Brazilian to face the wolves this weekend while Manchester City launches his first League 2025-26 campaign with a delicate stadium molinine test.

However, the transfer of the initiate Fabrizio Romano has since specified that Manchester City has not weighed a decision for Akliouche – and a priority the continuation of the Real Madrid striker Roddrygo if Savinho leaves the club before the closure of the window.

Guardiola would be a big fan of Rodrygo, who scored two late goals to help get Manchester City out of the UEFA Champions League in 2022. Real Madrid is supposed to enhance the 24-year-old player in the 100 million euros region.

Elsewhere, Manchester City agreed personal terms with Gianluigi Donnarumma while they are waiting for a galatasaray offer for Ederson, who wants a new challenge after eight seasons in England and gave the green light to move to Turkey this summer.
