Bournemouth is set to face Manchester City as Tottenham target Savinho closes in on a move. Savinho has been left out of Manchester City's squad to face Bournemouth.
What happened?
Savinho was not part of City's squad that lost 3-0 to Arsenal in the Community Shield last weekend.
Why it matters for Bournemouth
The 22-year-old Savinho joined Manchester City in 2024 from Troyes following a standout loan campaign at Girona.
What comes next?
Tottenham have agreed an £85 million deal to sign Savinho, and Omar Marmoush has been named as a substitute against Bournemouth, although negotiations with Tottenham over a move have reportedly reached an advanced stage. As of the final 2025 table, Bournemouth stood 6th in the Premier League with 57 points from 38 games, and their recent form has been DDWWD. Their last result was a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest on 2026-05-24, and they are currently unbeaten in their last 5 matches with a record of 1W-4D-0L. Bournemouth's next fixture is against Ipswich on 2026-11-07. With Savinho's transfer looming, the focus will be on how Manchester City and Tottenham navigate the transfer market.
