Unfortunately, I’m not able to edit this, but the reported fee is around £45-50m, NOT £60m.
I’ve just been told £60m is what @ManCity wanted, but they’ve instead accepted a fee worth £45m.
And the club are looking for a replacement as we speak.
🚨 Savinho will LEAVE @ManCity, with a @FabrizioRomano here we go issued for the next week or so.
He’ll be a @SpursOfficial player before the World Cup, with a fee in excess of around £60m agreed for both parties.
#MCFC
🚨🇧🇷 Negotiations ongoing for Savinho to Tottenham as revealed two weeks ago… and progressing well.
#THFC believe Savinho wants the move, talks continue as Man City could open doors to his exit in case of good proposal.
Deal on. ⚪️👀
Worth remembering that in our two Champions League final appearances we've narrowly lost to the undisputed best teams in Europe at the time - prime Ronaldinho-era Barca, and a PSG side that battered Inter 5-0 in last season's final.
Back in the day, Fergie's United got played off the park twice by Pep's Barca. Klopp lost two finals to Real Madrid and his only final victory came against *Spurs* for crying out loud.
Recent wins by United, Liverpool, and Chelsea also came via penalties. Even treble-winning City only beat a poor Inter side 1-0 and struggled to play their best football.
Yes we can improve but a bit more luck and we're 100% lifting this trophy in the next 2-3 years.
