According to transfer expert Romano and Tottenham source Paul O'Keefe, Tottenham Hotspur is preparing to make its first official offer to Crystal Palace for Eze, while Manchester City has already rejected Tottenham's first bid for Savio. Reportedly, Tottenham's offer is only €65 million, while Manchester City's target is €80 million.
Judging from Levy's past buying habits, spending such a large sum on two stars simultaneously is similar to his simultaneous pursuit of Giovani Lo Celso and Bruno Fernandes in the summer of 2019. In the end, Pochettino only bought his fellow Argentine and didn't pay a high price for Bruno Fernandes.
Even if Tottenham Hotspur bought both Eze and Savio, meeting the asking prices of both Manchester City and Crystal Palace, the total would still only be €150 million. Just look at how Tottenham spent €100 million on two young players, Telle and Gray. Add in Odion Bale's €25 million, and it's almost as much as the combined cost of Eze and Savio.
It's proven that Levy doesn't like to buy proven Premier League stars. He prefers to buy young, unsung players. He's always hoping to find Bale and Alli. But in the end, if he doesn't pay a high price, he'll still end up with a loss. The undeniable fact is that while Alli cost only £5 million, Levy hasn't received a penny back.
For Tottenham fans, it shouldn't be surprising if Eze and Savio don't ultimately sign for Tottenham.
