Tottenham Hotspur have approached Manchester City about signing Savinho, with talks under way between the two Champions League clubs.
City, however, do not want to sell the 21-year-old who only signed for them last summer from sister club Troyes.
Spurs have been in the market for a number 10, and that search is intensifying after a long-term injury to James Maddison.
Savinho can play at No 10 but is predominantly a winger.
Savinho joined Man City last summer
Spurs winger Dejan Kulusevski has previously played at No 10 when Maddison has been injured.
The north London side have also lost forward Heung-Min Son this summer after his move to Los Angeles FC, bringing an end to the captain’s decade at the club.
Savinho, who has mainly been used on the right wing at City under Pep Guardiola, scored 11 goals for Girona in the 2023/24 season from the left side of their attack, and therefore could be a natural replacement for Son.
Savinho scored three goals and provided 13 assists in 48 appearances for Man City last season.
The Brazil international came on as a half-time substitute in Saturday’s 3-0 pre-season win over Palermo.
Savinho may find game time harder to come by at City this season following the arrival of Rayan Cherki, while he faces competition from the likes of Phil Foden, Oscar Bobb and Jeremy Doku.
Tottenham, meanwhile, are pursuing a deal for Savinho, having spent £120.3m this summer on six signings.
The Europa League winners turned Kevin Danso’s (£20.9m) and Mathys Tel’s (£29.9m) loan moves into permanent deals.
Mohammed Kudus has been their most expensive signing of the summer so far after his £55m arrival from West Ham.
Midfielder Joao Palhiha has joined on loan from Bayern Munich, while defenders Luka Vuskovic (£9.5m) and Kota Takai (£5m) have also joined the club this summer.
