Manchester City are reportedly eyeing Newcastle United’s Tino Livramento as a potential replacement for Kyle Walker, who is expected to leave the club permanently in the summer.
Walker’s decline in form and subsequent loan move to AC Milan have prompted City to search for a new right-back, with Livramento emerging as a top target.
Livramento’s Rise to Prominence
The 22-year-old has established himself as one of the top young full-backs in the Premier League, starting 21 matches for Newcastle this season.

Livramento’s impressive performances have caught the attention of England manager Gareth Southgate, who handed him his senior debut against the Republic of Ireland in November.
Manchester City’s Summer Transfer Plans
With Walker’s exit looming and John Stones potentially leaving the club, Manchester City are prioritizing the signing of a new right-back.
Livramento is one of several options being considered, along with Juventus’ Andrea Cambiaso and Paris Saint-Germain’s Achraf Hakimi.
Newcastle’s Valuation of Livramento
Newcastle are under no pressure to sell Livramento, who is contracted until 2028.
The Magpies are likely to demand a significant fee for the young full-back, who has already proven himself to be a valuable asset to the team.
Manchester City’s Transfer Budget
With a significant transfer budget at their disposal, Manchester City are well-equipped to secure the services of Livramento or other top targets.
The club’s summer transfer plans are likely to be shaped by the departures of Walker and potentially other experienced players.
