Manchester City Rules Out Tino Livramento Move After Kyle Walker Exit

Manchester City has decided not to pursue a transfer for Newcastle right-back Tino Livramento this summer, despite initially considering him a top target to replace Kyle Walker, who left for Burnley. Newcastle plans to offer Livramento a new long-term contract, and the club is not inclined to sell the 22-year-old, who is a key part of Eddie Howe's squad and keen to stay at St James' Park. Pep Guardiola, facing difficulties in securing Livramento, is now exploring other options, including Barcelona's Jules Kounde, although that deal appears challenging. Meanwhile, City is focusing on potential player exits and alternatives within their squad, such as Matheus Nunes, Rico Lewis, and some center-backs who can cover the right-back role. Additionally, City is interested in signing Burnley's goalkeeper James Trafford as a possible replacement for Ederson. The club has spent £111 million on new signings this summer but remains active in managing squad changes to address their current needs.
