British media: Despite the growing interest in Liframento, Newcastle says it won t sell it

May 13th According to the Northern Echo, although Manchester City's growing interest in Liframento, Newcastle firmly stated that it would not sell it.

It is reported that Manchester City plans to carry out a large-scale reconstruction in the summer, and the right-back is one of Guardiola's priority positions. Walker will leave Etihad Stadium permanently in the summer, and he will be loaned to AC Milan in the second half of the season. Manchester City has reportedly set up a four-man shortlist, with Livramento among them.

According to multiple media reports, Manchester City executives hope to hold formal talks with Newcastle's management. However, any attempt to pursue Livramento will be promptly rejected. Eddie Howe and Newcastle recruiting teams believe that Livramento, 22, is a key player in the club's future plans.

Liframento joined Newcastle from Southampton in the summer of 2023, with an initial transfer fee of £32 million and has gradually become an important member of the team's preferred defense line. He was the club's top right-back for most of the season, and due to his versatility, he was also able to play a guest appearance as a left-back when left-back Lewis Hall was injured in February.

Newcastle's financial situation means they don't need to sell any major players this summer. This position will be further strengthened if the club successfully qualifies for the Champions League in the next two weeks. As long as Newcastle wins one of the remaining two games (away against Arsenal or home against Everton), they will secure the top five.

Although Eddie Howe admits that Newcastle's main players will inevitably receive attention, he is more looking forward to strengthening his existing roster through the summer transfer window rather than weakening his strength by selling players. "I have never tried to hide this fact, and the summer transfer window is very important to us," Eddie Howe said in an interview after his 2-0 victory over Chelsea on Sunday.
