Newcastle United are on course for to achieve our best season in living memory, with Eddie Howe now close to adding a top-five finish and Champions League football to the Carabao Cup trophy won two months ago.
With impressive performances comes inevitable interest from elsewhere, as we’ve seen with the likes of Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali over the past 12 months.
That does not mean star players will leave – our PSR position is far healthier and we’re a brilliant club and project to be part of – but that won’t stop clubs being linked with summer moves for some of our key men.
The latest link sees one of our top performers since the turn of the year linked with a potential move to Manchester…
Romano reveals Tino interest
Tino Livramento is receiving interest from Man City ahead of the summer transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.
He report that the versatile full-back is ‘under consideration’ at the Etihad, with Pep Guardiola and City’s recruitment team putting together a four-man shortlist as they prepare to replace Kyle Walker.
Walker is currently at AC Milan following a January loan move to the San Siro, but Romano reports that he will ‘100% leave’ Man City this summer, leaving Pep in need of a replacement.
Livramento sealed a £32m move to St James’ Park in August 2023 and has continued to develop under Eddie Howe, taking Kieran Trippier’s starting spot at right-back for much of the season before filling in superbly down the left in recent months following Lewis Hall’s season-ending injury.
On City’s interest, Romano said on X: ‘Tino Livramento, among options under consideration at Manchester City for right back position. There’s a four-men shortlist for that position with City set to decide ahead of Club World Cup. Kyle Walker will 100% leave the club, even if AC Milan won’t buy him.’
No need to sell, no desire to leave?
Man City may offer the chance to work under Guardiola, but I don’t see why Tino would push to leave Newcastle – or a reason for the club to even consider his sale.
He’s playing regularly, has recently broken into the England set up, we’ve just won a trophy, he’s improving every week under Eddie Howe and we are (fingers crossed) on course to be playing Champions League football next season.
Newcastle will also be in no rush to sell one of our top young talents, with the PSR issues that forced us to raise funds last June no longer hanging over us this summer.
Livramento could be our right-back for the next five to 10 years and we are building something special with him and Hall down either flank. City can try, but they’ll have a tough task getting him!
The only players I see leaving this summer will be the likes of Wilson, Targett, Hayden, Lewis, Gillespie, Ruddy, Dubs, Vlach, Longstaff and maybe Willock.
I can’t see us getting rid of our top players at all and there’s no need too plus we are no longer a selling club like we were under the fcb.

More absolute fictional clickbait rubbish as per usual the same bloke that said Pedro from Watford was a done deal and a Newcastle player this fictional garbage is getting worse and worse this isn’t the Ashley area any old nobody’s making up anything comedy gold and do you honestly think we are going to sell our best players to City Arsenal etc when the side we have is better and winning things its getting ridiculous this trash now. And with Man City facing charges this is even more laughable
