STATUS: REPORTED AGREEMENT FOR SAVINHO; REPORTED TALKS FOR MARMOUSH

Tottenham Hotspur are reported to have reached an agreement with Manchester City for Brazil winger Savinho while separately continuing their pursuit of Egypt forward Omar Marmoush. The development was published on 21 August 2026 by The Guardian and supported by reporting from The Athletic; Sky Sports had previously confirmed that talks over both players were advancing.

Neither Tottenham nor Manchester City has yet issued an official announcement for either player. ON MEDIA.AL is therefore not describing either move as completed.

WHAT IS REPORTED ABOUT SAVINHO

The Savinho package is reported to comprise £75 million guaranteed and up to £10 million in add-ons, giving it a potential value of £85 million. That is a media-reported figure, not a sum publicly confirmed by the clubs.

The latest reporting moves the story beyond initial interest: The Guardian describes Tottenham as closing on deals for both players, while The Athletic reports that a package for Savinho has been agreed. Until a club announcement arrives, however, final paperwork, a medical, contract terms and player registration remain unconfirmed.

Savinho is 22 and is under contract with Manchester City until 2031. He was not included in City’s squad for the 3–0 Community Shield defeat by Arsenal on 16 August, but that absence does not itself confirm a transfer.

WHERE THE MARMOUSH SITUATION STANDS

Omar Marmoush’s case is less advanced. The Guardian reports that Tottenham are closing on an agreement valued at about £75 million, while earlier reporting from Sky Sports and ESPN described active talks without a completed agreement.

Marmoush joined Manchester City from Eintracht Frankfurt in January 2025. Tottenham’s interest is identifiable and talks are reported by established outlets, but there is still no public confirmation of a final fee, personal terms, a medical or a contract.

WHAT IS STILL MISSING FOR OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION

- An announcement from Tottenham or Manchester City for Savinho. - Confirmation of Savinho’s medical and contract. - A confirmed club-to-club agreement for Marmoush. - Marmoush’s personal terms and medical. - Fees and add-ons officially disclosed by the clubs.

At this stage, the headline reflects the crucial distinction: an agreement for Savinho is being reported, while reported negotiations for Marmoush continue. Either situation can still change before official communication.
