Tino Livramento Jules Kounde Newcastle Barcelona
Manchester City have reportedly ruled out a summer move for Newcastle’s Tino Livramento, despite needing a new right-back following Kyle Walker’s departure to Burnley. Pep Guardiola is instead considering Barcelona’s Jules Kounde, although a deal looks difficult at the moment. City are now focused on player exits, but could still act if the deal for Kounde is deemed possible.
Man City won’t move for Livramento this summer
WHAT HAPPENED?
ESPN have reported that Manchester City are no longer willing to pursue a deal for Livramento, despite previously scouting the Newcastle full-back. Walker’s exit to Burnley had sparked rumours of a move, but no bid was made. Journalist Fabrice Hawkins has now reported that the eight-time Premier League champions are monitoring Barcelona star Kounde, although the Catalan side are working on extending the Frenchman's contract.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
ESPN sources have said that City briefly considered Livramento as Walker’s replacement, but have moved on to other targets. Kounde has been identified as a possibility, though Barcelona are keen to keep him and talks over a new contract are ongoing. With no concrete offers on the table, the Frenchman looks unlikely to head to Etihad Stadium this summer.

At the moment, Manchester City are short of a specialist right-back, with only Rico Lewis and Matheus Nunes as makeshift options. While they’ve already concluded most of their incoming business, Guardiola is still open to reinforcing the backline. However, player sales — including Jack Grealish and Kalvin Phillips — are currently the club’s top priority.

WHAT NEXT FOR MAN CITY?
Guardiola's side may yet go into the new season without a recognised right-back. If they do act in the market, it’s unlikely to be for Livramento or Koundé. For now, Manchester City are content to wait — unless the right opportunity becomes available late in the window.
