Tino Livramento might soon swap the black-and-white stripes of Newcastle for Manchester City’s sky blue, and no, this isn’t a Football Manager simulation. The 22-year-old right-back, once considered surplus at Chelsea, is now being sized up as the next turbo-charged machine in Pep Guardiola’s sleek footballing garage. With Kyle Walker’s exit from the Etihad looking more confirmed than your weekend pizza order, Livramento has emerged as a frontrunner in City’s four-man shortlist.
Forget cruise control—Livramento’s clocking over 35 km/h on the pitch. He’s fast enough to chase down through balls, delivery vans, and probably time itself. And that’s precisely why Guardiola, never shy about replacing old hardware with flashier upgrades, is salivating at the prospect.
Why Livramento Could Be the Right-Back City Didn’t Know It Needed
City tried wooing Achraf Hakimi, but prising him from PSG is like trying to borrow your neighbor’s Bugatti. So now it’s Livramento who’s caught the eye—and the stopwatch—of Guardiola and his staff. According to transfer maestro Fabrizio Romano, the lad is not just under consideration; he’s among the favorites. Walker’s done his bit, sprinted his sprints, and is headed for greener (or redder?) Milanese pastures.
Livramento the Successor: Like-for-Like, but Younger and With Fresher Knees
Guardiola’s blueprint? Replace Walker’s pace and defensive agility without losing an ounce of attacking flair. Livramento fits the bill like a pair of custom boots. Newcastle, understandably, will fight tooth and nail to keep their prized asset, but City’s allure is strong—trophies, Champions League nights, and the occasional Pep-style bear hug.
Conclusion: Speed Thrills
Manchester City’s summer transfer list reads like a tech wishlist—streamlined, high-functioning, and built for the future. Livramento could soon be the next big signing in that evolution. If Newcastle blinks, they might just find their rising star moonwalking all the way to Manchester.
