- Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is a fan of defender Tino Livramento
- Livramento appeared in 37 of Newcastle’s 38 Premier League games in 2024-25
- City have accelerated talks with Wolves regarding left back Rayan Ait-Nouri
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is keen on Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento.
The 22-year-old, who joined Newcastle from Southampton in 2023 in a deal worth up to £40million, made 37 appearances in the Premier League last season.
He still has three years left on his current contract and Newcastle want to keep him.
City therefore know that bringing the former Chelsea youth to the Etihad could prove expensive.
Guardiola has other names on his wish-list and City have accelerated talks with Wolves regarding left back Rayan Ait-Nouri.
The plan is to get the Algeria international signed before the Club World Cup begins later this month. Ait-Nouri has told City that he wants to join.

Pep Guardiola has a big summer ahead and he is expected to be busy in the transfer market
Meanwhile, City last week opened talks with Lyon over a deal for midfielder Rayan Cherki.
Guardiola, who is bringing in former Liverpool coach Pep Lijnders as his new assistant, gave the green light for City to bid for Cherki after holding talks with the 21-year-old.
Cherki is valued around £35million after scoring 12 goals in 44 games this season, including two against Manchester United in the Europa League.
He was also part of the France U23 team that won a silver medal at last summer’s Olympic Games. Cherki has not yet been capped by France at senior international level, but he was recently handed his first call-up and could make his debut in Thursday’s UEFA Nations League semi-final clash with Spain.
City have also put forward a bid of around £50m for AC Milan attacking midfielder Tijjani Reijnders.
