According to a report by Football Insider, Valentino Livramento is the subject of interest from Manchester City. The Citizens are eager to bolster their defensive unit by signing a right-back in the summer transfer window. So, the 22-year-old Newcastle United wide player has emerged as a target for the Premier League giants.
The Citizens are ready to intensify their efforts to sign the Englishman from Newcastle United in the summer transfer window. However, the Magpies are “doing everything they can” to keep the highly-rated right-back at St. James’ Park for the long haul.
Valentino Livramento has come leaps and bounds since joining Newcastle United from Southampton in August 2023. The 22-year-old has established himself as one of the best young prospects in the Premier League in the last two years while usurping Kieran Trippier to become the Tyneside outfit’s first-choice right-back.
The English international has turned out nearly 100 times thus far for Newcastle United while chipping in with one goal and two assists. Meanwhile, Livramento’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs. Manchester City will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature in the summer transfer window.
Manchester City’s interest in Valentino Livramento makes sense. The Citizens are combing the market for a right-back this summer after parting ways with Kyle Walker. The former Manchester City captain has completed a bargain move to Burnley, ending his long association with the Premier League giants.
In addition, Rico Lewis has yet to be convincing enough to become the undisputed first-choice right-back for Manchester City. So, Livramento has emerged as a viable target for Manchester City, with the Premier League giants confident that the Englishman wants to move to the Etihad. However, Newcastle United would prefer not to sell the 22-year-old, although they have set an asking price to sell him.
Recent reports have claimed that the Tyneside outfit would demand £80 million to part ways with Livramento in the summer transfer window. While it is unclear if Manchester City will break the bank to sign the English international, Newcastle United will do “everything they can” to keep the highly-rated wide player at St. James’ Park for the long run.
