Manchester City are ready to make a push to sign Newcastle defender Tino Livramento, while the Magpies want to sign James Trafford from the Etihad outfit, according to talkSPORT.
Livramento has quickly developed into one of the best right-backs in the Premier League in recent years. The Magpies secured his signature from Southampton, who gave him a chance after he failed to make it at senior level with Chelsea.
Trafford is another player who could be on the move, despite only joining City last summer. The England international, described as 'world-class' by Scott Parker, has struggled for minutes after City signed Gianluigi Donnarumma shortly after Trafford arrived at the Etihad Stadium.

Tino Livramento in action for Newcastle United
According to talkSPORT, Man City are ready to make a play to sign Newcastle defender Livramento. Pep Guardiola's side have been tracking the English right-back for a few months now, and they plan on making a swoop in the summer.
Mathues Nunes has been predominantly utilised as a makeshift right-back this season, and the Manchester club are now in the market for a natural defender. Newcastle are said to be keen on extending Livramento's contract at St James' Park, but the 'rapid' defender is in no rush to sign a new deal.
Separately, Newcastle are interested in signing Trafford after they failed to secure his signature last summer. The City goalkeeper has spoken publicly recently about the club bringing in Donnarumma over his head, expecting to be a number one, and the Magpies are considering rescuing him this summer.
