Tottenham 'fully expect' Savinho to join as new price revealed Tottenham Hotspur are increasingly confident they will sign Manchester City winger Savinho before the 3rd September transfer deadline, sources have told Football Insider. The Lilywhites have been working on a deal to sign the 22-year-old all summer, and remain locked in discussions with their Premier League rivals. Enzo Maresca has recently admitted that the Citizens are facing a busy few weeks in the transfer market, and Spurs "fully expect" Savinho to be one of the stars that is shown the door. City are holding out for £70million for their star, but sources have indicated that Tottenham are finally ready to trigger a move if they can negotiate down to £65m. Savinho is still one of their "leading targets" in the final stages of the window, and the player has also been clear for several months that he wants the move. City are expected to trim their squad ahead of the upcoming deadline, and Savinho is one of the prime candidates to move elsewhere. Tottenham ready to strike Savinho compromise Savinho fell firmly out of favour under Pep Guardiola last season, and that has put his future at the Etihad Stadium in serious doubt. The depth in the Citizens' squad is so strong that Maresca already has several top options available to him in the wide areas. Savinho has featured in pre-season in recent weeks, but was out through illness in last weekend's Community Shield defeat to Arsenal. Tottenham have been working hard to sign the Brazilian throughout the summer, and are now at the stage where they are prepared to compromise to get a deal over the line. The North Londoners had previously been keen to strike a £60m transfer, £10m short of City's valuation, but are now willing to meet them in the middle at £65m. It remains to be seen how City will react to that, having already spent £116m on Elliot Anderson, while also working on another hugely lucrative move for Ayyoub Bouaddi. Guglielmo Vicario fee revealed as exit agreed Football Insider revealed on Monday that the purchase option in Guglielmo Vicario's imminent loan move to Juventus is set at the £8m mark. Tottenham have finally reached an agreement to move the out-of-favour goalkeeper, who is now rapidly closing in on a return to Serie A. Despite recent reports, the purchase clause for Juventus as part of the deal is an option, rather than an obligation. Vicario was into the final two years of his contract in North London, but is now likely to have played his final game for the club.
