“Complicated” Newcastle & Man City deal “on stand-by”, according to Fabrizio Romano

Manchester City’s bid to sign Newcastle United right-back Tino Livramento has seemingly run into problems and is currently on hold.

The 22-year-old has long been regarded as a big prospect since his days in Chelsea’s academy, and he’s certainly impressed during his time at Newcastle.

It seems Man City had an interest in signing Livramento, but Fabrizio Romano now reports that the deal looks to be on stand-by.

See below for details as Romano has posted on X about the Livramento to Man City transfer now looking complicated…

Romano said: “Negotiations for Tino Livramento to Man City are currently complicated and on stand-by. Newcastle are not reducing their asking price as they want to keep Livramento, almost impossible to agree on terms in time for Club World Cup.”

Newcastle want to keep Tino Livramento

Newcastle fans will be delighted to see that their club is fighting to keep hold of its best players, with Livramento sure to continue to be a key part of Eddie Howe’s side.

It seems City won’t get the England international in in time for the Club World Cup, but it will be interesting to see if this saga is revived later in the summer.

Pep Guardiola could do with bringing in a new right-back as a long-term replacement for Kyle Walker, and Livramento seems an ideal choice.

Newcastle, however, have just enjoyed a superb season in which they won the Carabao Cup and qualified for the Champions League.

It’s vital for the Magpies to keep this squad together and strengthen it further, instead of letting key members of the squad join a top four rival.
