The summer transfer window is heating up, and Sunday’s newspapers are packed with big moves and surprising twists. Here is everything you need to know from the latest transfer gossip.

Tottenham Confident of Landing Savinho

The headline story of the day is Tottenham’s push to sign Brazilian winger Savinho from Manchester City. According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, Spurs remain confident of completing a deal for the 22-year-old.

Savinho joined Manchester City in the summer of 2024 and quickly established himself as one of the most exciting young wingers in the Premier League. His pace, dribbling ability, and direct running style have made him a target for several top clubs.

For Tottenham, signing Savinho would represent a major statement of intent. The club have been looking to add more attacking firepower to their squad, and the Brazilian international would bring both quality and youth to their frontline.

Real Madrid Cool Interest in Rodri

In a surprising twist, Real Madrid have reportedly cooled their interest in signing Manchester City midfielder Rodri. The Spanish giants had been linked with a move for the 30-year-old Spain international, but The Athletic now report that Madrid have no intention of signing him this summer.

Rodri is widely regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in world football. He won the Ballon d’Or in 2024 after helping Manchester City to the Premier League title and starring for Spain at Euro 2024. However, a serious knee injury kept him out for much of the 2024-25 season.

Despite his quality, Real Madrid appear to have decided that the financial package required to sign Rodri does not make sense given his age and injury history. Manchester City will be relieved to keep hold of one of their most important players.

AC Milan Monitoring Phil Foden

Perhaps the most eye-catching rumour of the day involves Phil Foden. According to Italian outlet Tuttosport, AC Milan are keeping tabs on the 26-year-old Manchester City and England midfielder.

Foden has been a key player for Manchester City since breaking into the first team, winning multiple Premier League titles and earning the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award. However, the 2025-26 season was a difficult one for the England international, with inconsistent form and questions about his role under Pep Guardiola.

The report states that any deal for Foden would only be possible if AC Milan can first sell Portuguese forward Rafael Leao. The 27-year-old has been linked with a move away from the San Siro, and his departure would free up both funds and squad space for Foden.

What to Watch

With the World Cup now coming to a close, expect the transfer market to explode into life in the coming weeks. Many clubs have been waiting for the tournament to finish before making their moves, and several players have enhanced their reputations with strong performances in North America.

The Savinho deal could be completed soon if Tottenham can agree a fee with Manchester City. Meanwhile, the Foden situation at Manchester City is one to keep an eye on, as multiple European clubs circle around one of England’s most talented players.
