**LONDON, Aug 25 (Source Reporters)** — Tottenham Hotspur have completed the signing of Brazilian winger Sávio from Manchester City, with the transfer announced by both clubs on Tuesday.
The deal is reported at £85m by Sky Sports and the Mirror, though The Guardian put the fee at £75m plus add-ons — the exact figure remains Unverified pending club disclosure. Either valuation makes the 22-year-old Spurs' most expensive signing, surpassing the previous club record.
Sávio — previously known as Savinho during his time at the Etihad — will reportedly revert to his full name "Sávio" on his shirt, per The Guardian. He joined City from fellow City Football Group side Troyes in 2024 after spells at Atlético Mineiro and Girona, and was part of the Brazil squad at recent international tournaments.
The Evening Standard reports Tottenham are already moving to a new target, facing a deadline to sign Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush before the window shuts on September 1.
Goal.com's grading of the summer window called the fee "one of the most ridiculous deals in football history" — an opinion piece, not a factual assessment.
