Latest from the Etihad
Enzo Maresca and Hugo Viana are overseeing a significant reshaping of the Manchester City squad this summer, and the latest development confirms another departure is on the cards. The club's summer transfer tracker — covering every confirmed signing, advanced deal, live target and departure — has been updated at 1:00pm BST on 20th July 2026.
The headline news since the last update: Savinho has reached a verbal agreement with Tottenham. The deal is understood to be worth around a certain fee, though the exact figures have not been made public.
It is another move that fits the pattern of this window. City have already seen Bernardo Silva and John Stones leave the club this summer, and the squad is being streamlined under the new management team. Savinho's exit, while not yet formally completed, suggests the Brazilian winger was not central to Maresca's immediate plans.
“The headline development since our last update: Savinho’s move to Tottenham has progressed to a verbal agreement worth around…”
For Tottenham, it represents a signing from a direct rival — one that might raise an eyebrow or two among City fans. Savinho's potential arrival in north London adds to a squad that has been quietly rebuilding under Ange Postecoglou, though the Premier League champions remain Arsenal, not Spurs.
The tracker will continue to be updated as the window progresses. City's first pre-season game is against Inter Milan on 1st August, which gives Maresca and Viana just under two weeks to finalise the current round of business before the squad heads out for competitive action.
