Manchester City are interested in signing Valentino Livramento from Newcastle United during the summer transfer window.
Manchester City are very interested in Valentino Livramento, and they would be prepared to pay a world-record fee for a right-back in the summer.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Arsenal are also keen on signing the Englishman, but they are unlikely to be able to compete with Manchester City financially. Signing a quality right-back is an absolute priority for Manchester City in the summer, and Livramento could be an excellent addition.
The 23-year-old has shown his quality with Newcastle United, and he is certainly ready to play for a bigger club and compete at a higher level. Achraf Hakimi is the most expensive right-back in the world right now, and PSG paid €68 million for him. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle United are prepared to sell him for a fee in that region.
The 23-year-old has been a key player for the Tyneside outfit, and his departure would be a blow for the club. However, the defender will be attracted to the idea of joining a bigger club. If there is a concrete proposal on the table. Newcastle could find it difficult to convince the player to stay.

Manchester City need Livramento
Rico Lewis is expected to leave Manchester City in the summer, and they will need to replace him properly. Livramento would be an upgrade on the player. The English international is a young player with a lot of potential, and he could improve further with coaching and experience.
Playing alongside quality players will help him improve further. Manchester City have already improved the defensive unit with the signing of Marc Guehi during the winter transfer window. Adding a quality right-back could complete the revamp of their defensive unit for the foreseeable future.
Arsenal already have Jurrien Timber at their disposal. It will be quite surprising if the decide to invest a lot of money in another right-back. However, the Gunners are expected to sell Ben White in the summer, and they need a backup option to replace him. They should look at cheaper alternatives in the summer.
