“There is an issue” | Dumfries, Livramento Man City transfer rumours | @EsteemedKompany
Manchester City expert Steven McInerney from Esteemed Kompany delivers his verdict on reports linking Pep Guardiola’s side with Inter Milan right-back Denzel Dumfries, who would represent a cheaper alternative to Newcastle United’s Tino Livramento.
Livramento is not worth more than £50m and he hasn’t indicated that he wants to leave Newcastle. Dumfries at £20.5m is a pretty good deal provided his wage demands aren’t excessive.
People are too shortsighted on the Livermento purchase. He helps our HG problem, he’s a solid defensive RB who offers something going forward which is very hard to find, he’s pretty rapid so can cover Dias’ slow pace like Walker used to,.
When it comes to cost, yes he’s expensive, but we bought Walker for £50m nearly 9yrs ago and how did that work out for us? We missed out on VVD and how did that go? As much as we don’t like it, player inflation is a reality but IF the player comes good, then it’s completely worth it. If we think about Livermento cost and timelines, we can get 10yrs out of Livermento which would mean £8m/yr for the £80m transfer fee. Is £8m/yr worth it? Or if he’s great for 5yrs, is 16m/yr for 5yrs worth it? Seems like it

I am so confused why city don’t give grealish to Newcastle + 40 m =livermento , then we can be released from grealish wage and give livermento 180- 200 weekly . Please city use brains 🧠. Am i wrong please reply?

Can’t McAtee be accommodated when he helps our ‘Home Grown’ quota
