What does Savinho's £75m move reveal about Man City's multi-club model?
· Sports · BBC Sport, Bernama
Manchester City has agreed to sell 22-year-old forward Savinho to Tottenham in a deal worth £75 million, plus £10 million in potential add-ons. The transfer marks a significant financial gain for the City Football Group, which originally acquired the player for Troyes in 2022. Savinho spent the 2023-24 season on loan at Girona, where he played 37 league matches and helped the club secure its first-ever Champions League qualification. Although he made 48 appearances for Manchester City, the club has opted to cash in on the player following his development within their multi-club network. The sale represents a record departure for Manchester City.
Why it matters
The deal illustrates the high-value player trading model employed by the City Football Group, which uses its network of 12 global clubs to develop and profit from young talent. It provides Tottenham with a proven La Liga performer while significantly boosting Manchester City's transfer revenue.
