It is reported that Tottenham is interested in Brazil's forward Savignho and offers a price of 50 million euros. According to the Manchester Evening News, the sale of Savigno is causing pressure to rebuild, and sports director Viana may propose a huge asking price
Manchester City may sell Savigno to Tottenham just 12 months after purchasing Savigno, but whether the Brazilian will sell it depends on whether he wants to leave. Obviously, Guardiola doesn't want any players on the team who don't go all out to fight for a position.
In fact, when Savigno joined a year ago, the club had already conducted a detailed evaluation of it. If Savigno wants to leave, it will be a bad reaction to that assessment, as a player who has signed for only 12 months is leaving, which is not a good thing for the recruiting team.
The main question about Savigno is whether he will develop that trait that desires to be a world-class player. Sterling did this under Guardiola, and Sane also made significant progress in his second season.
In the Club World Cup, Guardiola sounds like someone who believes Savigno can do it. However, if you think from Savigno's perspective, he still has to face competition with wingers like Marmush, Sherky and Oscar Bob, which may limit his development opportunities in the World Cup year.
It is currently impossible to determine whether Savigno can achieve its potential, which means it is difficult for Manchester City to regard the sale as a victory. Viana knows this well and also realizes that if Savigno has performed well elsewhere in the Premier League, it will only add more stress.
To alleviate this sentiment and considering the possibility of Savignho shining at Tottenham, Viana may offer huge transfer fees so that City can claim that they will succeed in the deal. In addition, he may also sign a replacement, with Real Madrid's Rodrigo and Leipzig's Simmons being potential targets.
Viana soon knew after taking over Manchester City's job that he would become the spokesperson for Manchester City's reconstruction, selling a young Brazilian winger to the Premier League rivals would add pressure to their reconstruction and the club's scrutiny of his work.
