Tino Livramento is the main target of Pep Guardiola to strengthen the right-back position at Manchester City next summer. The English club is willing to pay over 80 million euros for his signing.

After investing 95 million in the winter transfer market, Manchester City shows no signs of slowing down. Planning for the next season is already underway, with the English international's name topping the list.

The Catalan coach is looking for a young full-back with physicality and offensive capabilities. Tino Livramento fits that profile, and his performance in the Premier League has been decisive. Newcastle United, aware of the interest, is gearing up for challenging negotiations. The defender is under contract until 2028, and there is no immediate need for a sale.

Tino Livramento, top priority for Manchester City

Manchester City sees Tino Livramento as a strategic piece. Guardiola seeks width in attack, speed in transition, and defensive reliability. The 23-year-old full-back arrived at Newcastle United in 2023 for 37.2 million from Southampton. His progression has been constant since then.

A product of Chelsea's academy, Livramento already has international experience with England. He has been called up thrice for the national team. Manchester City particularly values his competitive maturity. At his age, he has already clinched a League Cup with Newcastle United at Wembley.

He has shown consistency in the Premier League. His ability to contribute offensively while not neglecting defense makes him one of the most complete full-backs.

Newcastle United facing a historic offer

Newcastle United knows that holding onto Tino Livramento won't be easy if the offer exceeds 80 million euros. This price would make him the most expensive right-back in history, surpassing the 68 million paid for Achraf Hakimi by PSG.

The absolute record in that position is held by Lucas Hernández, for whom Bayern paid 80 million. Manchester City is prepared to go beyond that figure. St James' Park is not considering a cheap exit. The club competes in Europe and aims to maintain a competitive core in the Premier League.

Nevertheless, an offer of that magnitude would force a reconsideration. The English market is demanding, and the figures are escalating.

Premier League and Guardiola's ambition

Pep Guardiola understands the Premier League demands squad depth. Manchester City aims to refresh key positions without losing competitiveness. Tino Livramento represents both present and future. His age and international experience make him a strategic medium-term investment.

His impact is valued at Newcastle United. A UEFA European Under-21 champion with England in 2025, he has solidified his status in British football. Manchester City is keen not to repeat past mistakes. After a season of fluctuations, the club is opting for reliable profiles in the Premier League.

It won't be easy to lure him from Newcastle

The operation won't be straightforward. Newcastle United is a tough negotiator with financial backing. However, Guardiola's desire is clear. The coach wants a full-back who can make a difference at both ends and fit into his tactical model.

The summer will determine the outcome. If Manchester City submits an offer above 80 million, the scenario could change. One thing is certain, Tino Livramento has become Manchester City's top priority for the upcoming Premier League season.
