Manchester City have identified two new players that they will target in the current summer transfer window. As they are in search for new fullbacks, so they have shortlisted Tino Livramento of Newcastle and Ait-Nouri of Wolves. Both these fullbacks were amazing last season, and thus, the club thinks they are the best options for the positions.

Manchester City have set their sights on bolstering their defensive options this summer, with a particular focus on strengthening the fullback positions. According to reports, the reigning Premier League champions have shortlisted Tino Livramento of Newcastle United and Rayan Aït-Nouri of Wolverhampton Wanderers as key targets.

Both fullbacks impressed with their performances in the 2023/24 season. Livramento, despite limited starts at Newcastle, showcased his pace, composure, and attacking flair whenever given the opportunity. Aït-Nouri, on the other hand, was one of Wolves’ standout players, contributing both defensively and in the final third with consistent displays.

City’s interest in the duo reflects Pep Guardiola’s desire to refresh his squad with young, dynamic options capable of playing in an intense, possession-based system. With Joao Cancelo expected to leave permanently and doubts over other defensive options, the club sees Livramento and Aït-Nouri as ideal fits.
