Newcastle United may be facing a fresh challenge this summer.
One of Eddie Howe’s standout players has caught the attention of a Premier League rival. He has been calm under pressure, confident on the ball, and stepped up in big games.
This player has become a fan favourite for his consistency and work rate. He fits perfectly into Howe’s plans and is expected to play an even bigger role next season.
But now, there is interest from a club known for making big moves.
They are preparing for the future. Their manager wants a younger option to compete in one of the most important roles in his system.
As they head into a busy summer, they have narrowed down their shortlist, and one name stands out.
Manchester City eye shock move for Newcastle United star
According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City have added a Newcastle player to their list of targets for the right-back position. That player is Tino Livramento.
The 22-year-old has impressed since joining from Southampton for £40m last summer. He has pace, composure, and the ability to play on both flanks. His performances have not gone unnoticed.
City are looking for someone to follow in Kyle Walker’s footsteps. Livramento is one of four names they are looking at, and they want to decide soon.
However, Newcastle have no intention of letting him go. The club sees Livramento as part of their long-term plans and won’t entertain offers unless they are extraordinary.
This shows just how far Livramento has come and just how highly Newcastle value him.
