Savinho to stay at Man City amid Spurs interest
- Published
It may be a busy time of outgoings at Manchester City before Monday's transfer deadline, with boss Pep Guardiola openly stating he wants to work with a smaller group of players.
Defender Manuel Akanji is of interest to Galatasaray, Crystal Palace and others, with talks taking place around selling the Swiss international - City are understood to want £15m for the 30-year-old.
Goalkeeper Ederson is also wanted by the Turkish champions but as it stands, there has been no change to the situation.
Sources close to Stefan Ortega have told BBC Sport they are looking at solutions for the German goalkeeper, but an exit is not yet close.
Ilkay Gundogan is another that could depart in the next few days after being left out of the defeat by Tottenham last Saturday and the club would explore sanctioning a sale.
However, one player who will remain at Etihad Stadium beyond the transfer window is winger Savinho.
Tottenham had reached out for transfer talks around the Brazilian, but City have maintained throughout that he is not for sale.
Sources have told BBC Sport the hierarchy at City have now informed counterparts at Spurs that they will not entertain any offers in this window, which is another blow to Thomas Frank's plans after missing out on Eberechi Eze to rivals Arsenal.
