"Pep Guardiola has played players out of position in the right-back position. Even right now, the club's starting right-back is Matheus Nunes, a player who is naturally a midfielder is now being used in the right-back position. Man City could have sold Rico Lewis in a swap deal Rico Lewis, the young academy graduate, has increasingly featured, sometimes in unconventional roles, sometimes at full-back,"
"Livramento has emerged as one of Newcastle United's most promising full-backs. A former Chelsea academy player who later moved to Southampton, he joined Newcastle in summer 2023. At Newcastle he has made over 60 Premier League appearances, showing both defensive solidity and attacking promise. His contract runs until 2028, but Newcastle are reportedly preparing an improved deal to secure his future amid growing interest."
Manchester City explored a potential swap with Newcastle United that would have sent Rico Lewis to Newcastle in exchange for Tino Livramento. City lost Joao Cancelo and Kyle Walker and have frequently used players out of position at right-back, with Matheus Nunes currently starting despite being a natural midfielder. Rico Lewis, an academy graduate, has appeared in multiple roles but faces doubts as a long-term first-choice right-back. Livramento joined Newcastle in 2023, has over 60 Premier League appearances, and holds a contract until 2028 while Newcastle prepare an improved deal. Swap talks failed and Lewis later signed a new deal until 2030.
