Reuse of the same trick! Newcastle plans to renew Livramento with a large sum of money to prevent Manchester City from poaching

According to British media reports, in order to cope with Manchester City's continued interest in purchasing, the Premier League Newcastle United club is planning to provide a generous new contract for young star Tino Liframento, intending to keep him at St James' Park Stadium for a long time. It is reported that this move follows the club's previous strategy of trying to retain striker Alexander Isak.

The cumulative transfer fee for Livramento, who is only 22 years old, has exceeded 55 million pounds in his career. Newcastle signed the Chelsea youth training player from Southampton last year, with the basic transfer fee plus floating terms up to £40 million. After experiencing his first injury-troubled season as Kieran Trippier's substitute, Livramento rose strongly last season and became the absolute main force under coach Eddie Howe, representing the team in 37 of the 38 Premier League games. This extremely fast full-back is not only capable of his good offense and defense on the right, but also shows strong adaptability and successfully plays as the left back position in the second half of the season.

Liframento's comprehensive ability has attracted the attention of Manchester City coach Guardiola. Guardiola has publicly stated this summer that it is necessary to introduce a new right-back, and Kyle Walker's transfer to Burnley makes the position's need to strengthen. However, Newcastle is determined to keep the England international. The Times revealed that the club is preparing a new six-year contract. If the contract is successfully renewed, Livramento will become one of the "maximum-paid players" in the team.

Newcastle previously planned to use a similar high-paying strategy to lock in the main shooter Isaac. It was reported in June this year that the Swedish striker is expected to receive the highest salary in the team's history. But less than a month later, Liverpool publicly expressed its interest in introducing Isaac. At present, Newcastle seems to have withstood the first round of bidding against Isaac, although the player's agent has not completely closed the door to leave the team. If Manchester City's interest in Liframento continues to heat up, it remains to be observed whether it will re-induce the departure of core players.

It is worth mentioning that Manchester City has invested more than 300 million pounds in the transfer market this year, but the right-back position still needs to be strengthened. In the previous Club World Cup journey, the position was mainly played as a substitute with Rico Lewis, midfielder Mattus Nunes and centre-back Abdukodil Kusanov.
