Man City make final Savinho to Tottenham transfer decision as Thomas Frank sent £60.6m bombshell

Manchester City have reportedly told Tottenham Hotspur that their top transfer target, Savinho, is not for sale this summer, according to Press Association news agency.

Spurswere believed to be preparing an enhanced offer of £60.6million for the Brazilian forward, as Thomas Frank looks to bolster his options in the final third.

However, City have rejected previous offers and have now informed their Premier League counterparts that the Brazilian will not be departing the Etihad Stadium at any cost.

This development is another significant blow for Tottenham in their quest to strengthen Thomas Frank's squad, having already missed out on two high-profile players in the current transfer window.

Morgan Gibbs-White was poised for a medical last month after Spurs attempted to activate a release clause, only for Nottingham Forest to thwart the deal.

In their search to fill the void left by Son Heung-min and the injured James Maddison, Tottenham then lost out on Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze.

The England international chose to sign with his childhood club, Arsenal, in a deal worth £67.5m, despite being tipped to finalise a deal with their north London rivals.

City manager Pep Guardiola asserted last week that he wished to retain Savinho at the club for "many years", amidst rumours linking him with Spurs.

Savinho made 48 appearances for City in his debut season after signing last summer, netting three goals and providing 13 assists.
