Overview
- A fresh briefing says Manchester City’s pursuit remains active with Arsenal and Manchester United preparing to compete for the 23-year-old full-back.
- Newcastle are not entertaining a mid-season sale and Livramento is not agitating to leave, making a winter move unlikely.
- Industry sources expect the situation to escalate in the summer window, when firm bids and a three-club battle are more likely.
- Newcastle’s leverage includes a contract running to 2028 and valuations around £35m, with the possibility of a new deal also mentioned in reports.
- Fit is a key driver, with City seeking a specialist right-back and United and Arsenal viewing him as an upgrade; one report even floats an unlikely cash-plus–James Trafford proposal.
