City Rules Out Savinho Sale Before Deadline…
Manchester City have juggled the idea of selling Savinho like a clown with one too many bowling pins, but now they’ve firmly decided he won’t be leaving the circus before the transfer window closes. Despite Tottenham being as persistent as a dog with a bone, City’s refusal has nipped the deal in the bud. Savinho, who recently played the role of spectator as City won 2-0, joined a year ago for over £30 million. But given the time, Tottenham could barely come up with £50 million amongst the coins from their couch cushions.
While Real Madrid’s Rodrygo was once considered a shiny new toy to replace Savinho, City’s decision saves Pep Guardiola from having to shuffle his team like a deck of cards. Meanwhile, Thomas Frank’s squad might have to go down the squad aisle again at the footballing supermarket. City’s attention now turns to selling other players, with potential suitors for Manuel Akanji and Ilkay Gundogan lining up as eagerly as kids for an ice cream truck. Even Ederson might trade his Manchester blues for a Turkish delight with Galatasaray calling.
