Man City boss Pep Guardiola keen on Newcastle star who featured in all but one Premier League game last season
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is keen on Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento.
The 22-year-old, who joined Newcastle from Southampton in 2023 in a deal worth up to £40million, made 37 appearances in the Premier League last season.
He still has three years left on his current contract and Newcastle want to keep him.
City therefore know that bringing the former Chelsea youth to the Etihad could prove expensive.
Guardiola has other names on his wish-list and City have accelerated talks with Wolves regarding left back Rayan Ait-Nouri.
The plan is to get the Algeria international signed before the Club World Cup begins later this month. Ait-Nouri has told City that he wants to join.
Meanwhile, City last week opened talks with Lyon over a deal for midfielder Rayan Cherki.
Guardiola, who is bringing in former Liverpool coach Pep Lijnders as his new assistant, gave the green light for City to bid for Cherki after holding talks with the 21-year-old.
Cherki is valued around £35million after scoring 12 goals in 44 games this season, including two against Manchester United in the Europa League.
He was also part of the France U23 team that won a silver medal at last summer's Olympic Games. Cherki has not yet been capped by France at senior international level, but he was recently handed his first call-up and could make his debut in Thursday's UEFA Nations League semi-final clash with Spain.

Manchester City 'poach key Arne Slot ally from Liverpool's backroom team' having already lured Jurgen Klopp's former No 2 Pep Lijnders to Etihad
Manchester City are 'poaching a key member of Arne Slot 's Liverpool backroom staff', having already agreed a deal with Jurgen Klopp 's ex-assistant Pep Lijnders. Head of opposition analysis, James French, who has worked at Anfield for 13 years, is now set to depart and join Liverpool's Premier League rivals to work closely with Pep Guardiola, according to the Athletic. In a blow to the English champions, the Portuguese born member of the backroom team will work on set-piece coaching in addition to analysis at the Etihad. French will be reunited with Lijnders, who he worked closely with on Merseyside during Klopp's tenure. Liverpool now face the task of reshuffling their backroom staff, having already lost Slot's assistant John Heitinga to Ajax in the last week. It is fascinating to see Guardiola target the staff of his former rival in Klopp as he aims to pick their brains for new tactical innovation and ideas. After a disappointing season, one in which City failed to bring home any silverware, the Spaniard is making sweeping changes behind the scenes. Juanma Lillo, Carlos Vicens, and Inigo Dominguez are all leaving and Guardiola is seeking fresh faces to challenge and inspire him. Lijinders in particular could be regarded as a coup, given his loyalty to Klopp and previous admission that he would only leave Liverpool when his great friend and mentor did, to take a head coaching role. He did just that with the top job at RB Salzburg but was sacked after just seven months at the helm. Norwich City interviewed the 42-year-old Dutchman but ultimately the temptation to work with Guardiola appears to have superseded any loyalty to Liverpool or ambitions to hold another head coaching role. He will be in place at City before their first game of the Club World Cup on June 18. It is a summer of great change for Guardiola, who already splashed out on players in January and is continuing to bolster the squad with Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki set to join ahead of next season.

Man Utd target Brentford forward Bryan Mbeumo after Matheus Cunha move agreed
The Red Devils have wasted little time starting Ruben Amorim's rebuild after the club's worst top-flight season in 51 years was compounded by their costly Europa League final loss to Tottenham. United's damaging defeat in Bilbao saw them miss out on Champions League qualification, yet a first campaign without European football since 2014-15 did not put off Wolves star Matheus Cunha. The Brazil forward's £62.5million move to Old Trafford is to be completed after international duty, when registration and visa requirements will be fulfilled for him to join on a five-year deal with an option for another season. Cunha scored 15 times in the Premier League last season and United are now pushing to bring in 20-goal Mbeumo from Brentford. PA understands the Cameroon international, 25, has expressed a desire to move to Old Trafford over other options and there has been informal contact between the clubs. United are ready to ramp up their attempts to bring in Mbeumo as they seek to strike another early agreement, but it remains to be seen how flexible Brentford are. A post shared by Bryan Mbeumo (@bryan_.m19) Mbeumo has a year left on his deal at the Gtech Community Stadium, with the option for another, and the Bees reportedly want a fee similar to the £62.5m Wolves received for Cunha. United's moves for proven Premier League players mark a change in tack, having tended to do business outside England's top flight in recent years. Mbeumo and Cunha would significantly aid a rebuild as the club navigate tight profitability and sustainability rules. Wide-ranging club restructuring under Ineos and a reduced wage bill through loans last season have helped on that front.
