Not only that, but star striker Alexander Isak has reportedly handed in a transfer request with Liverpool poised to make an offer.
Now, according to TBRFootball, City will step up their pursuit of Livramento, 22, as they continue their search for a long-term successor to now departed Kyle Walker.
The report adds that Pep Guardiola’s side are willing to pay over £50 million to sign the right-back, although that still falls well below Newcastle’s valuation.
Newcastle are keen to keep Livramento at the club after two impressive seasons at the club and will offer him a bumper new deal.
