# Tino Livramento’s Manchester City move ‘nailed on’, reports former chief executive

**Tino Livramento has been linked with a move to Manchester City and there appears to have been a breakthrough in the club’s quest to bring him to the Etihad Stadium.**

Manchester City are looking to sign a new right-back this summer, despite the impressive displays of Matheus Nunes.

Last month it was reported that [Man City were interested in Tino Livarmento](https://readmancity.com/2026/02/19/manchester-city-plan-summer-transfer-swoop-for-england-international/), who had been a first-team starter for Newcastle until his recent injury troubles.

City were said to be so keen on the defender that they were willing to make him the most expensive right-back in the world, with [Newcastle’s asking price set at £70m](https://readmancity.com/2026/03/02/manchester-city-could-smash-transfer-record-to-sign-70m-rated-defender/).

## Manchester City ‘nailed on’ to sign Tino Livramento

According to ex-Everton and Aston Villa chief executive Keith Wyness, an agent has revealed that Livramento is set to become a Man City player next season.

Wyness has confirmed the £70m transfer fee which was reported previously which is likely to be agreed during the summer transfer window.

He told [Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/7Atmejn4fSX2w7S8NBVKdv?si=89bd84059df14189&nd=1&dlsi=9d6777cb1f27489c): “Yes, very much so. I think that’s pretty much nailed on as far as I’m aware.

“I heard from somebody the other day. I talked to an agent who said that it’s going to be happening. They did expect that sort of big number around the £70m mark, which is a big number, as we say, breaking the record.

“But I think he’s the right one for City. I think he’s a talented player, and it helps Newcastle fill the coffers.”

## Nunes could still play as a right-back for Man City

The fact Nunes was the only player to start against both Nottingham Forest and Newcastle says a lot about Man City’s lack of right-back options.

Therefore, it would not be surprising to see the 27-year-old continue to play some matches as a right-back, even if Livramento joins the club.

While Nunes is traditionally a midfielder, he has played well in Pep Guardiola’s backline and could still provide cover in the full-back position when it is required.
