For the City Football Group (CFG), the soon-to-be-completed sale of Savinho to Tottenham will mark a milestone moment.
The fee of £75m plus £10m in add-ons agreed represents a record sale for Manchester City, the most prominent club in CFG's stable.
Savinho's time with City's ownership group has not been without scrutiny.
He was a record signing for CFG-owned French club Troyes from Atletico Mineiro in 2022. But left two years later having never played for the club.
At 18, he was sent on loan to Dutch side PSV for the 2022-23 season, and then to fellow CFG-owned Spanish club Girona for 23-24, where he built his reputation.
