Tottenham Hotspur continue to be frustrated in their pursuit of Man City star Savinho, who is playing a key role in his club’s pre-season campaign.Man City’s negotiating tactics over the Brazilian have left Tottenham frustrated, with the Lilywhites not wanting the deal to drag on into the final stages of the window.Spurs and Savinho have both ramped up pressure on Man City, but so far, the Manchester club have not shown urgency.City have now identified Pedro Neto as a potential replacement for Savinho, and the hope at the North London club is that the Brazilian will be let go if Enzo Maresca’s men can secure the Portugal international.Photo by Carl Recine/Getty ImagesMan City are not in a hurry to let Savinho go to TottenhamSome sources continue to confidently assert that Savinho’s move to Spurs will be completed before the window slams shut.Journalist Pete O’Rourke has now explained that while negotiations are ongoing between the two clubs, City are not pushing anyone out the door until they reinforce their squad.When asked about the 22-year-old’s proposed move to Tottenham, O’Rourke told Football Insider: “Talks have been ongoing (between) Manchester City (and Tottenham) but I don’t think City are rushing anybody out the exit door just yet. They want to keep their squad intact until they bring in further signings of their own.”Enzo Maresca’s words and actions paint different picturesEnzo Maresca has refused to back Savinho to stay at Man City, stating ‘anything can happen’ when asked about the winger’s future.However, Maresca started Savinho in the pre-season friendly against Atletico Madrid on Sunday, with the Tottenham target playing 82 minutes as City emerged 3-1 winners in Seoul.It thus appears unclear what City’s plans are regarding the former Girona man, but De Zerbi will be hoping there is a breakthrough in talks sooner rather than later.READ MORE: Jan Paul van Hecke says he already has a strong partnership with one Tottenham starThe post Savinho transfer update: Talks continue between Tottenham and Man City over £60m deal appeared first on Spurs Web.
