Manchester City are interested in acquiring the services of Newcastle United defensive sensation Valentino Livramento.
Manchester City are expected to undergo a rebuild ahead of next season. They have suffered in the ongoing campaign and Pep Guardiola wants to ensure he has enough depth and quality to avoid a similar next time around.
They will focus on strengthening their midfield and defence on a priority basis. According to a report from The Telegraph, City are keen on signing Valentino Livramento who has made significant progress at Newcastle United. They have been monitoring him for some time and are all set to raid the Magpies for his signature.
While things didn’t work out for Livramento at Chelsea, the move to Southampton gave him an opportunity to play regular first-team football. His consistent performances put him on the radar of Newcastle who acquired his services in the summer of 2023.
The 22-year-old full-back has established himself as a key figure in the team and his performances have helped him break into the England national team. His development and massive potential are major reasons why some of the biggest clubs have been keeping a close eye on him.
City want to sign Livramento
City are one of the clubs that are interested in his signature. Guardiola’s team suffered a massive blow mid-season when Kyle Walker decided to part ways with the club. With the 34-year-old making the move to AC Milan, the Premier League giants now need to bring in a right-back on a priority basis.
They have been monitoring some top talents from across Europe and Livramento is quite high on their wishlist. They have watched him in action from close quarters and feel he could be a great acquisition for the short as well as the long run.
City are all set to make a move for him in the summer transfer window. While they are keen on signing him, his contract at Newcastle runs until 2028 and they won’t want to part ways with him as he is an important part of their plans.
