Guardiola knows that Tottenham Hotspur's manager, Thomas Frank, is interested in signing Savinho. This is because Tottenham is looking for a replacement for Son Heung-min, who left the club, and James Maddison, who is injured.

City's goalkeeper, Ederson, has been linked with a move to Turkish side Galatasaray. However, Guardiola has re-signed former youth academy graduate James Trafford from Burnley, and Ederson has not expressed any desire to leave the club.

Guardiola said that if Savinho wants to leave, he will come to him and discuss the situation. He also mentioned that Savinho will be sidelined for a few weeks due to an injury sustained in a pre-season friendly.

Guardiola is keen to retain Savinho because he believes the 21-year-old has a lot of potential. However, he stopped short of guaranteeing that Savinho will still be at the club when the transfer window closes in September.

Guardiola also talked about City's midfielder, Rodri, who has been injured for most of the previous season. Guardiola wants Rodri to be fit and ready for the new season, and he is being careful not to rush him back onto the pitch.

Guardiola has been trying to reduce City's squad size to avoid unhappy players sitting on the bench. He allowed England winger Jack Grealish to join Everton, and another player, James McAtee, is close to finalising a move to Nottingham Forest.

Guardiola said that he would love to have McAtee at City, but he has too many players and needs to make tough decisions.

Guardiola is focused on finding the right balance in his squad and making sure that all players are happy and contributing to the team's success.
