Tino Livramento’s future has become a hot topic at Newcastle United in recent months.
Tino Livramento previously dismissed noise about his future amid reported Manchester City interest.
Pep Guardiola has been linked with potentially making a move for Livramento, who has endured an injury-ravaged campaign. The full-back returned from an eight-week lay-off due to a knee problem only to suffer a hamstring setback against Leeds United a fortnight ago.
Livramento has developed into an England international since joining Newcastle United in 2023. Capable of playing at left-back or right-back, the 23-year-old will have two years remaining on his Toon contract at the end of the season.
Man City interest in Tino Livramento
Man City continue to be linked with a possible summer approach for Livramento. Etihad chiefs have shown this month that they can be ruthless in the transfer market.
With their position in the title race slipping, City have pounced to sign Premier League talents Antoine Semenyo and Marc Guehi. That likely concludes their business for the winter but do not be surprised to see them launch a concrete offer for Livramento once summer arrives.
Tino Livramento on Newcastle United future
Speaking to NewcastleWorld in November, Livramento stayed coy on his United future, refusing to outright commit to a possible extension. It is understood that the Magpies view a new deal - just as they did with SVen Botman earlier this month - as a priority to keep the likes of Arsenal at bay.
“That's nothing that I'm in control of,” Livramento said. “I leave that to my dad, to my agent. For me, I've been out for seven weeks. I've been working really hard to come back and obviously help the team.
“I’m very happy with how I've played (against Man City). That's my focus, staying where I'm at now. That's always been my focus. Helping the team as much as I can.”

Ross Wilson confirms Tino Livramento priority
New sporting director Ross Wilson told supporters in December that Livramento’s contract is of high importance. He said: “It’s no secret at all that we would want to extend Tino’s contract and we would want to extend Sven Botman’s contract too.
“Those discussions are ongoing. Some discussions are more difficult than others, but the desire would be to keep those players. Will they agree to those contracts? At the moment, I think it’s too early to say.”
