Man City closing in on the signing of £70 million Newcastle United star

Manchester City are reportedly progressing in their pursuit of Newcastle United right-back Tino Livramento, with the Premier League champions identifying the England international as their leading target to strengthen the defensive flank.

City are working toward a potential agreement that could see the 23-year-old move to the Etihad Stadium this summer.

No deal has been finalised, but sources suggest the transfer could reach around £70 million if negotiations advance.

City’s interest shows their ongoing effort to secure a long-term successor to former captain Kyle Walker, whose influence on the team has gradually diminished as he enters the latter stages of his career.

Livramento has been a huge hit at Newcastle United

Livramento has enjoyed an impressive campaign at Newcastle United, establishing himself as one of the Premier League’s most dynamic young full-backs.

Since arriving at St. James’ Park, the England international has demonstrated the pace, defensive awareness, and attacking ability that have made him one of the league’s best players in his position.

Livramento’s performances have been particularly notable for his versatility. While naturally a right-back, he has also shown the ability to operate on the opposite flank when required, providing versatility that modern top clubs value highly.
