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.<\/p>\n<p>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 A\u00eft-Nouri of Wolverhampton Wanderers as key targets.<\/p>\n<p>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. A\u00eft-Nouri, on the other hand, was one of Wolves\u2019 standout players, contributing both defensively and in the final third with consistent displays.<\/p>\n<p>City\u2019s interest in the duo reflects Pep Guardiola\u2019s 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 A\u00eft-Nouri as ideal fits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Manchester City have identified two new players that they will target in the current summer transfer window. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":35547,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[3918,1823,3796,3800,359,3991],"class_list":["post-15481","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-english-premier-league","tag-fabrizio-romano","tag-football","tag-manchester-city","tag-pep-guardiola","tag-summer-transfer-window"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15481","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15481"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15481\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35547"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15481"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15481"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15481"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
