Man City star handed new SIX-YEAR contract after £70m Tottenham transfer failed to materialise

Savinho is in line to net a new six-year contract at Manchester City after flirting with a move away to Tottenham in the summer.

Spurs registered serious interest in the Brazil international after Son Heung-min departed, James Maddison’s anterior cruciate ligament injury and missing out on Eberechi Eze.

Savinho was open to leaving the Etihad Stadium but Spurs weren’t willing to match City’s valuation, believed to be north of £70million.

City are in negotiations with the winger’s representatives over a fresh deal and hope that an agreement could be reached in the coming days.
