Manchester City<\/a> are reportedly the firm favourites to sign Newcastle United<\/a> defender Tino Livramento<\/a> during the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n

The versatile full-back joined the Magpies from Southampton in the summer of 2023 and has since established himself as a reliable defender, making 100 appearances across all competitions.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old has been limited to just 11 Premier League starts this season due to injury, but that has not prevented speculation linking him with a move away from Tyneside.<\/p>\n

Manchester City have been strongly linked<\/a> with a move for the England international, with Pep Guardiola<\/a> keen to strengthen his right-back options ahead of next season.<\/p>\n

Matheus Nunes<\/a> has been deployed at right-back after being converted from a midfielder, but City are now reportedly looking for a natural full-back and have identified Livramento as a priority target.<\/p>\n

Capable of operating on both flanks, it is easy to understand why Livramento has caught Guardiola\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n

According to Football Insider<\/a>, Livramento is increasingly likely to become a Manchester City player next season – with the move described as ‘nailed on’ – although the deal is expected to be expensive.<\/p>\n

The report claims that an agreement between Manchester City and Newcastle could be reached for a fee in the region of \u00a370m.<\/p>\n

Livramento remains under contract at St James\u2019 Park until 2028 and has reportedly shown little willingness to extend his current deal.<\/p>\n

The defender is reportedly happy at Newcastle but would also be open to a summer move to a bigger club if the right opportunity arises.<\/p>\n

Such a transfer could also provide Newcastle with a chance to cash in and reinvest in the squad, which may require significant rebuilding after a disappointing Premier League campaign.<\/p>\n

While Livramento could secure a dream move to Manchester City to work under Guardiola, Newcastle may also benefit from receiving a substantial transfer fee for a player who has struggled with injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester City are reportedly the firm favourites to sign Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento during the summer transfer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":465067,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[4985,5906,218,372,5904,3553,5905,221,5903,217,101,3022,5907,118,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-465066","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-cycling","tag-epl","tag-football","tag-formula-1","tag-golf","tag-nfl","tag-olympics","tag-premier-league","tag-rugby","tag-sport","tag-sports","tag-sports-mole","tag-teams","tag-tennis","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=465066"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/465066\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/465067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=465066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=465066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=465066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
