Tottenham Hotspur in talks with Manchester City over Savinho transfer
Dialogue has taken place between the clubs and a package worth in the region of €50million (£43.3m, $58.2m) is under discussion.
City are not actively looking to sell Savinho but he open to the possibility and Pep Guardiola tends not to stand in the way of player who want to leave.

An agreement has not been reached but work continues as Spurs try to land the 21-year-old in a shock move.
Savinho joined City from Girona last summer and the Brazil international is contracted to them until June 2028.
The winger, who has scored one goal in 13 international appearances for Brazil, netted three times for Guardiola's side across 48 appearances in 2024-25.
Having begun his career at Atletico Mineiro, he subsequently joined French club Troyes, part of the City Football Group (CFG).
He was loaned to PSV Eindhoven, where he made eight appearances in 2022-23, before in 2023-24 making a loan move to CFG sister club Girona, whom he helped to a top-four finish in La Liga and a first-ever club qualification to the Champions League, with 11 goals that term.
Savinho then made a permanent move to City, the flagship team of CFG, last summer.

Football world slams 'disgusting' claims as Liverpool survive scare in EPL opener
Liverpool have kicked off their English Premier League defence with a dramatic 4-2 victory over Bournemouth after claims of racism from a member of the crowd overshadowed the game at Anfield and sparked uproar around the football world. The Reds were 2-0 up after goals from new signing Hugo Ekitiké and Cody Gakpo, before Cherries forward Antoine Semenyo bagged a second half brace to level the contest and silence the home fans. It set up a thrilling finish to the season opener and Liverpool substitute Federico Chiesa fired the champions back into the lead with a goal in the 88th minute. Mohamed Salah made sure of the three points with Liverpool's fourth goal in stoppage time to continue his incredible record of scoring in the opening games of the season as Arne Slot's side got their defence off to a flying start. There were emotional scenes before kick-off at Anfield as Liverpool paid a moving tribute to the late Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who tragically died in a car crash during the off-season. The Anfield crowd raised a mosaic featuring Jota's name and No.20 jersey before belted out a rousing rendition of their famous anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' before kick-off. The most amazing You'll Never Walk Alone rendition at Anfield by the Liverpool fans for Diogo Jota and his brother #LIVBOU #PremierLeague — Cricketism (@MidnightMusinng) August 15, 2025 Liverpool manager Slot and many of the players could be seen on the verge of tears during the tribute to Jota, ahead of the first competitive match at Anfield since the death of the former Reds star and his brother that rocked the football world. But the scenes inside Liverpool's famous home ground took a disturbing twist during the first half when play had to be momentarily halted due to claims of racist abuse against Bournemouth's Semenyo. Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo makes racist abuse claim The Cherries forward was preparing to take a throw-in when a Liverpool fan appeared to shout something in his direction, prompting an angry reaction from Semenyo. Referee Anthony Taylor was forced to stop play during a 29th-minute Liverpool corner before talking to both managers on the touchline. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and his and Bournemouth counterpart Adam Smith were also called over to the touchline to be briefed about the incident before the match resumed four minutes later. An anti-discrimination message was then read out to the crowd on the PA system at Anfield after the whistle had blown for halftime. The Premier League also issued an official statement on social media platform X that read: "Tonight's match between Liverpool Football Club and AFC Bournemouth was temporarily paused during the first half after a report of discriminatory abuse from the crowd, directed at Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo. This is in line with the Premier League's on-field anti-discrimination protocol. "The incident at Anfield will now be fully investigated. We offer our full support to the player and both clubs. Racism has no place in our game, or anywhere in society. We will continue to work with stakeholders and authorities to ensure our stadiums are an inclusive and welcoming environment for all." The football world was quick to condemn the claims of racism, with many fans labelling it 'disgusting' on social media. And Semenyo's response to the drama was nothing short of extraordinary as his second-half double in the space of 12 minutes looked to have rescued a point for Bournemouth, following goals either side of halftime for Liverpool's new striker Ekitiké and Dutch forward, Gakpo. However, Slot's late substitution of Chiesa proved inspired as the Italy international fired the Reds back in front with just over two minutes of regular time remaining. Liverpool superstar Salah wrapped up victory deep in stoppage time by scoring a record-breaking 10th goal in opening day Premier League fixtures to seal a hard-fought three points for the Reds. 🚫 Allegations of racial abuse towards Bournemouth's Semedo by a Liverpool fan in a wheelchair at has no place in football or anywhere.#NoToRacism #FPL #LIVBOU — kido THE Brand 🇰🇪 (@Silvakidole) August 15, 2025 We're 30 minutes into the new season and Semenyo has already been racially is wrong with this country.

Rodgers agitated - but what do Celtic need to do?
Brendan Rodgers said on Thursday he was "hopeful" of adding to his Celtic squad. Six days earlier, the manager had said there was "no news" when pressed on the chances of new additions. A week before, he had voiced frustration about a lack of movement in the market. It is understandable that the Northern Irishman might find the constant queries a little trying. And his patience cracked in the aftermath of Friday's routine 4-1 Premier Sports Cup win over Falkirk. "I don't know" was one repeated Rodgers' reply to questions in a testy BBC Scotland interview. As former Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner said on Sportsound of his agitation and the line of questioning: "It's just that time of year." The time when windows are soon shutting. When Champions League play-offs are looming. When fans - and managers, perhaps - want signings to hang their hopes on for the months ahead. But how did the exchange unfold? What business have Celtic done so far? And where could they still use some fresh faces? Holders Celtic cruise past Falkirk and into quarter-finals Rodgers 'hopeful' of new signings before Kairat tie Latest Celtic news, analysis and fan views How did the exchange unfold? BBC Scotland's Alasdair Lamont had interviewed Rodgers pre-match and reconvened with him afterwards. Once the discussion about the victory was done, talk turned to transfers and, in particular, whether any signings might arrive in time for Wednesday's crucial visit of Kairat Almaty. You've had to name a squad for the Champions League deadline, but you are allowed to name a further two players before the game. Do you see any likelihood of there being players to add to that squad? Rodgers: I don't know. I've just come out here after the game, so we'll wait and see. We've named the squad and we'll wait and see what happens before the game. If not, that's the squad we're going with. Can you be optimistic about it? There must be things in the pipeline that I guess you think could go one way or another. Rodgers: Okay, so let me repeat what I said. I've just finished the game. I haven't told you anything before the game and during the 90-odd minutes of the game. "I don't know anything. I don't know anything. So there might be or there might not be. So we have the team that we have." Okay. Cheers Brendan. What business have Celtic done? Celtic have paid fees for four players this summer - Benjamin Nygren from Nordsjaelland, Hayato Inamura from Albirex Niigata, Shin Yamada from Kawasaki Frontale and Callum Osmand from Fulham. Nygren is the only one who so far looks like a potential first choice. However, with Jota out injured until the end of the year and Nicolas Kuhn sold to Como, that still leaves Celtic a winger down. Rodgers is still looking to replace Kyogo Furuhashi, who was sold in January, with fellow Japan international Yamada so far consigned to two half-hour appearances as a substitute, while fellow striker Osmand is playing for Celtic's B team. Another 19-year-old, Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, has yet to feature since arriving on loan from Manchester City, as has fellow centre-half Inamura. Kieran Tierney was the big-name arrival on a free from Arsenal, but with fellow Scotland international Greg Taylor joining PAOK and Jeffrey Schlupp exiting after his loan, Celtic are still short of left-back cover. What areas might they be short in? In a TV interview after the game, Rodgers was more phlegmatic, pointing out that the assessment of Celtic's summer business need not begin until the window closes late on Monday, 1 September. That is still more than two weeks away, so time is on their side. Bear in mind that, at this stage last season, Auston Trusty, Arne Engels and Luke McCowan had yet to arrive and Adam Idah was still holding a scarf above his head. "Of course, I would have loved to have had other players in," Rodgers said on Premier Sports. "We need reinforcements, but I don't want to keep harping on about it. I don't need to beg for players that we need." So who are those players? Or rather, in what positions are Celtic short? Bonner talked about the need to identify cover for totemic captain Callum McGregor in midfield and his concerns about a lack of options at left-back to ease the pressure on Tierney. But his primary concerns lie in the forward areas. "We still need to find a striker who puts the ball in the back of the net," he said. "Johnny Kenny played tonight and he didn't really have one on target, even though there were lots of crosses. Shin Yamada came on and didn't have as many opportunities to get on the end of things. Maybe it's just the way Celtic play. "Have they got enough in the wide areas? They take off James Forrest and put on Nygren. He doesn't really play wide; he plays inside. So that's maybe something else that still has to be answered."
