Manchester City have made a firm statement of intent with a renewed and significantly strengthened bid for Newcastle United\u2019s Tino Livramento, as revealed by TBR Football<\/a>. City are reportedly prepared to pay in excess of \u00a350million for the 22-year-old, signalling their determination to bolster the right-back position following Kyle Walker\u2019s departure to Burnley.<\/p>\n

Livramento, who shone for England at the U21 Euros this summer, has been under close watch by the Etihad hierarchy since June, when the club first reached out to Newcastle with a \u00a340million proposal. That opening figure was rebuffed, but City have returned to the table with an improved package that could test the Magpies\u2019 resolve.<\/p>\n

TBR Football\u2019s Graeme Bailey confirms: \u201cCity would be willing to pay in excess of \u00a350million for Livramento.\u201d The report adds that Newcastle have no intention of selling, and instead have offered Livramento a new contract that would significantly increase his salary and elevate him among the top earners at St James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n

\nRight-Back Remains Priority After Walker Exit<\/p>\n

City\u2019s interest in Livramento is not without context. Kyle Walker\u2019s surprise move to Burnley left a notable void on the right side of defence. While Matheus Nunes has stepped in as a makeshift right-back during pre-season, he remains a central midfielder by trade.<\/p>\n

Livramento\u2019s skill set makes him a logical successor to Walker. At just 22, he offers pace, physicality and a sharp reading of the game. As Walker recently remarked, \u201cHe looks like a great player.\u201d That endorsement from the veteran speaks volumes about the Southampton academy graduate\u2019s growing reputation.<\/p>\n

With three years left on his current contract, Newcastle are under no immediate pressure to sell. However, should City\u2019s offer cross a certain threshold, the financial pull may yet be too strong to ignore, particularly if Livramento indicates a desire to compete for major trophies.<\/p>\n

Juventus Duo and Dumfries Considered as Alternatives<\/p>\n

Livramento is clearly City\u2019s first-choice target, but contingency plans are already in place. TBR Football confirm that Juventus duo Andrea Cambiaso and Nicolo Savona are also on City\u2019s radar. Savona, notably, can operate at both right-back and centre-half, offering tactical flexibility.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Newcastle are also monitoring Savona, potentially setting up a future transfer tussle between the two clubs. Another option, Denzel Dumfries, had previously been offered to City earlier this summer. Although the Dutch international\u2019s \u00a320million release clause has since expired, City declined to pursue a deal after initial talks.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, City\u2019s defensive reshuffle could also see Manuel Akanji leave. The Swiss international is in talks with Fenerbahce, which could free up further funds and squad space for a new arrival.<\/p>\n

Transfer Dynamics Could Test Newcastle\u2019s Resolve<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear that Manchester City are strategically investing in youth and depth. Livramento represents a long-term solution, and the willingness to exceed \u00a350million underlines the seriousness of their approach. However, Newcastle\u2019s ambitions and their financial strength under new ownership mean this saga may not resolve quickly.<\/p>\n

TBR Football\u2019s detailed reporting gives a strong indication of where the story currently stands. Whether Livramento remains a Newcastle star or becomes City\u2019s newest recruit could hinge on both finances and player intent in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Our View \u2013 EPL Index Analysis<\/p>\n

This is exactly the sort of move City fans love to see. Tino Livramento has shown maturity and class beyond his years, and the idea of him slotting into Pep Guardiola\u2019s side is mouth-watering. With Walker gone, there\u2019s a genuine gap, and Livramento\u2019s ball-carrying and defensive composure would suit our style perfectly.<\/p>\n

More than anything, it shows the club remains forward-thinking. Going after a young, English talent who\u2019s just starred at the U21 Euros is classic City. We don\u2019t need just cover, we need someone to evolve into a world-class asset, and that\u2019s what Tino offers.<\/p>\n

The fact we\u2019re also looking at options like Cambiaso and Savona proves that City\u2019s recruitment team is planning for every scenario. Dumfries might have been cheaper, but quality always wins out in our squad. And letting Akanji go to Fenerbahce? It makes sense if it\u2019s part of bringing in someone with more pace and energy.<\/p>\n

If this deal goes through, we\u2019re getting a future England regular and someone who can lock down our right side for the next five to seven years. This is the level we need to stay on top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester City have made a firm statement of intent with a renewed and significantly strengthened bid for Newcastle…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":26194,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[21073,49,48,21074,21075,21076,21077,21078,60,3638,21079,21080,563,21081,3937,8668,21082,21083,574,21084,561,82,21085],"class_list":{"0":"post-26193","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-andrea-cambiaso","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-city-transfer-targets","12":"tag-defensive-reinforcements","13":"tag-denzel-dumfries","14":"tag-england-u21","15":"tag-etihad-stadium","16":"tag-featured","17":"tag-fenerbahce","18":"tag-kyle-walker","19":"tag-man-city-transfers","20":"tag-manchester-city","21":"tag-manuel-akanji","22":"tag-newcastle-transfer-news","23":"tag-newcastle-united","24":"tag-nicolo-savona","25":"tag-pep-guardiola","26":"tag-premier-league","27":"tag-right-back-transfer","28":"tag-soccer","29":"tag-sports","30":"tag-tino-livramento"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26193"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26193\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
