Tottenham have agreed an initial £75m fee, with a further £10m in potential add-ons, to sign the Brazilian winger, who will undergo a medical before signing a long-term contract in north London.
The move has been more than a year in the making, with Spurs having failed in an earlier attempt to sign Savinho last summer. He opted to stay at the Etihad Stadium at the time, but his game time was limited under Pep Guardiola last season, making just seven Premier League starts.
Roberto De Zerbi's side are not expected to stop there. BBC Sport reports talks for Savinho's Manchester City team-mate Omar Marmoush, a £59m signing from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2025 who also fell down City's pecking order last season, are progressing positively.
Spurs remain interested in Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo too, though it is unclear whether they could finance a third major attacking addition on top of Savinho and Marmoush. The Savinho deal alone takes Tottenham's summer spending past £300m, having already committed £185m combined on midfielders Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, offset by around £140m recouped through the sales of Cristian Romero, Djed Spence and Luka Vuskovic.
Elsewhere at the Etihad, City have sent 18-year-old Divine Mukasa back to west London on loan, with West Ham United securing the England youth international's signature for the rest of the season.
Mukasa spent ten years in West Ham's academy after joining aged six, making his debut for the club's under-18s at 14 and helping them win the FA Youth Cup at 15, before City signed him in 2023.
He made his senior City debut against Huddersfield in the Carabao Cup last September, going on to make six appearances in total, and spent the second half of last season on loan at Leicester, where he scored twice in 15 appearances. Capped by England from under-16 level, he has three goals in 11 appearances for the under-19s since making his debut at that level last September.
