Manchester City winger Savinho has fueled further speculation regarding his future after being a notable absentee from first-team training on Thursday. While the Brazilian is officially sidelined with illness, the development comes at a critical time as Tottenham ramp up their efforts to secure his signature before the transfer window slams shut.

To prise Rodri away from Manchester City and sign him, Barcelona apparently have to stretch themselves considerably. The overall package is said to amount to an unbelievable sum.

Manchester City have secured a major coup in the youth market by tying down highly-rated midfield sensation Xavier Parker to a new long-term contract. The 16-year-old, who was the subject of intense interest from several European heavyweights, has officially committed his future to the Premier League champions.

Barcelona have set a strict 48-hour deadline to finalise a blockbuster deal for Manchester City midfielder Rodri. The Spain international has already informed City of his desire to join the Catalan giants, with Joan Laporta stepping in to seal an agreement close to €80 million.
