Manchester City Consider Tino Livramento as Potential Long-Term Right-Back Solution

Manchester City may look to replicate their successful 2017 signing of Kyle Walker as they consider strengthening at right-back this summer.

City’s recent signing of Rayan Ait-Nouri addresses their issues at left-back, but right-back remains a position identified for reinforcement following Kyle Walker’s expected departure.

Walker, who joined City for £50m from Tottenham, helped deliver six Premier League titles and a Champions League, becoming one of City’s most successful signings.

With Walker now out of favour, Newcastle United’s Tino Livramento is viewed as a prime candidate. However, Newcastle are not keen to sell, and a fee of over £70m may be required.

City manager Pep Guardiola prefers a smaller, flexible squad where players can cover multiple positions, potentially complicating a move for a specialist right-back.

The final decision rests with sporting director Hugo Viana, who must weigh whether Livramento offers the long-term solution City require. Alternatives, such as Flamengo’s Wesley, or internal options remain on the table should a deal prove too costly.
