Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City officially confirmed Savio’s transfer on August 25, 2026. Tottenham introduced Savio as a 22-year-old Brazil international winger, while Manchester City announced that the player had agreed to make a permanent move to Tottenham.

Facts Confirmed First

The key fact confirmed by the clubs in this transfer is the permanent move from Manchester City to Tottenham. According to Manchester City’s official announcement, Savio leaves the club after making 84 appearances and scoring seven goals over two seasons.

The transfer itself was confirmed by official announcements from both clubs, but the financial terms and contract length were not officially disclosed.

His official presentation at Tottenham also differs. Tottenham chose “Sávio” as the player’s shirt name and assigned him squad number 17. As a result, “Savinho” and the Korean name “사비뉴,” which often appear in articles and search queries, may appear alongside the new club’s official styling, “Sávio.”

How Official Is the £75m Figure?

The figure of approximately £75m as the initial transfer fee was reported by media outlets including Reuters and Sky Sport. There were also reports that additional bonuses could be included, but Tottenham’s official announcement did not state a transfer fee.

In reports published before the announcement, Sky Sport put the guaranteed fee at approximately €87.5m, with bonuses of up to around €11.6m. However, because neither club disclosed specific financial terms, these figures cannot be treated as a confirmed total or the amount actually paid.

  • Officially confirmed: Savio’s permanent transfer to Tottenham
  • Tottenham’s official shirt name: Sávio
  • Tottenham squad number: 17
  • Media reports: An initial fee of approximately £75m, with possible additional bonuses
  • Official announcement status: The transfer fee and contract length were not disclosed

Conclusion at This Point

Savio’s move to Tottenham was confirmed by announcements from both clubs. By contrast, the figures related to £75m and additional options were reported terms from multiple media outlets. They should therefore be understood as a “reported transfer fee,” not an amount officially disclosed by the clubs. At Tottenham, the player will use the shirt name “Sávio” and squad number 17.
