🚨 Savinho's £75m Spurs Move Shows City's Multi-Club Machine Is Unstoppable
23 August 2026, 20:49
📝 THE FULL PICTURE:
Savinho is heading to Tottenham in a deal worth £75m plus £10m in add-ons, breaking Manchester City's record for a sale. The 22-year-old Brazilian was the product of City Football Group's global pipeline. Troyes signed him from Atletico Mineiro in 2022, but he never played a game for them. Instead, loans to PSV and Girona built his rep. At Girona, he logged 37 league matches with nine goals and eight assists, helping them reach the Champions League for the first time. City then bought him for £30.8m in 2024. In two Premier League seasons, Savinho scored just twice and added 12 assists. Yet he's now leaving for almost £70m profit if all bonuses hit. CFG just turned a kid from South America into a financial monster.
💭 MY TAKE:
This is the multi-club model working exactly as designed. Dude was bought for £30.8m, never played for Troyes, and now he's sold for £75m. That's insane business. Critics will say Spurs overpaid, and maybe they did. But City turned a promising Brazilian into a massive asset without breaking a sweat. The real question? Can they keep producing these players? Palmer and Rogers show they've sold too soon before. Either way, this is a masterclass in player trading.
