[Craig Hope Exclusive] “A summer offer from Manchester City would be considered for Tino Livramento. The more people I speak to, the more I expect that deal to happen this summer.”

If this is true, then it means that the club doesn’t see Matheus as a full-back in the long term.

I’m not very convinced of him, he doesn’t seem any better than Nunes and has had few injuries this season.
The fee would be astronomic too.
My favorite would be Kayode, much cheaper and doesn’t seem any worse than Livramento

I just think Nunes has evolved to the point that I’d maybe get someone younger and less expensive to deputize and rotate rith him, but not a livramento where for the price he’s going to have to be the starter

I doubt it happens tbh. His injury record is very concerning and not worth the investment.

We haven’t really with our signings recently but I’m not sure about this one.

Please no more injury prone players. The best ability is availability

We’ve had our fair share of injury prone defenders. I don’t want him at all.

Livramento signed a 5-year contract with Newcastle in August 2023, so he’ll have 2 years left on his contract this summer. That gives Newcastle a lot of leverage to demand a big fee. And we know from recent experience that City doesn’t spend big on dedicated fullbacks, knowing that midfielders like Nunes, NOR, Zinchenko, Delph, etc. can be repurposed into fullbacks.
The best (worst?) example of City undervaluing a fullback target was our 30M bid to Brighton for Cucurella in 2022, reportedly based on City’s internal valuation of him. City was willing to raise its bid, but to nowhere near the 60M+ that Chelsea ended up paying for him. And in retrospect Chelsea’s valuation of him seems closer to the mark than City’s.
