Manchester City Studies Swap Deal with Newcastle
The website "CaughtOffside" revealed that Manchester City is considering offering goalkeeper James Trafford to Newcastle United in a potential deal aimed at signing the young English full-back Tino Livramento.
Reports indicated that Trafford, who joined City from Burnley last summer, lost his place in the team after the club signed Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, putting Trafford's future in doubt.
Manchester City's interest in Tino Livramento comes after his impressive performance with Newcastle, as the young player can operate as either a right or left back, providing the tactical flexibility that Pep Guardiola's team needs, with the possibility of being an upgrade over a player like Matheus Nunes on the right side.
The deal is expected to be a swap, with City aiming to offer Trafford in exchange for signing Livramento, given Newcastle's previous interest in him. Although the English club may be reluctant to let go of Tino Livramento, this deal could be a suitable opportunity for City.
