Pep Guardiola is a huge admirer of the versatile full-back and had been linked with an attempted £30m swoop.
But the City boss looks set to be left disappointed as Livramento prepares to try and break more Spanish hearts tomorrow in Slovakia with England U21s at the Euros.
Asked directly if he will still be a Newcastle player come August, he revealed: 'The manager, I'm in constant contact with him.
'He has just said to keep focusing on what you're doing now and you're doing so well.

'So having that relationship with someone that is obviously such a big figure in what I've done so far, I think is an amazing thing for me.
'I'm very much focused on what I'm doing here now. I don't know anything about that [speculation].
'Being away with the U21s is my main priority. I like to stay in the moment and just focus on what I can do to help the team now.'
One man Livramento knows will be key to Toon's success next season is their 27-goal Swedish superstar Alexander Isak - another player being continually linked with a move to Liverpool.

The defender said: 'Alex is an unbelievable player. We definitely saw that a lot this season.
'Training against him is obviously a privilege, being at a club like Newcastle and seeing the quality that we have as a team. Being involved in that is only going to make me a better player.

'You see the level that he brings on a Sunday or Saturday as fans, but I see that sort of every single day as a player. It's a real privilege to be in around players like him.'
Livramento's displays for Newcastle earned him a first senior England cap in November.
He went on to play a huge role at Wembley as the Magpies beat Liverpool to end a 70-year major drought in the Carabao Cup final before they went on to clinch Champions League qualification.
Given those big moments at senior level, discussing how much a shootout with Spain for a place in the U21 Euros ranks with them, he said: 'It's massive. I've played in a lot of big games already in my career so I just see it as another challenge, another privilege to be in a situation where the stakes are high and the pressure is on.
'I just see every game as a different challenge and tomorrow's no different. I think when it's a high pressure game, you know, you just stick to what you're good at and then just let the situation take care of itself. We've got a great squad.'

Meanwhile, England manager Lee Carsley, who guided the Young Lions to victory over Spain in the 2023 final, has every confidence that his current crop can produce a repeat in Trnava - even if the bookies don't.
On Spain being made the favourites, he said: 'I don't feel like an underdog.
'There's a massive expectancy, against Spain, that we can perform and that's all we need to do. 'If we can perform, play to our ability, then we've got a great chance of winning the game.
'Spain are a top team and anyone that was with us in the last Euros, you have to beat all of the top teams and they are a team that I've got a lot of respect for.
'There's definitely a lot more to come from us if we're going to progress.'

Club World Cup is the worst idea ever implemented in football
The new-look 32-team tournament started earlier this month, with the final taking place at the MetLife Stadium in New York on July 13. The Premier League resumes a month later, with Liverpool kicking off their title defence in the opening game of the season against Bournemouth on August 15. 16 teams remain. The road to #FIFACWC glory is set. 🛣️🏆 — FIFA Club World Cup (@FIFACWC) June 27, 2025 Klopp has previously spoken about issues such as fixture congestion and in an interview with German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, he suggested the Club World Cup will not provide any 'real recovery' for those players involved. 'It's all about the game and not the surrounding events – and that's why the Club World Cup is the worst idea ever implemented in football in this regard,' Klopp said. 'People who have never had or do not have anything to do with day-to-day business any more are coming up with something. 'There is insane money for participating, but it's also not for every club. 'Last year it was the Copa (America) and the European Championship, this year it's the Club World Cup, and next year the World Cup. That means no real recovery for the players involved, neither physically nor mentally.' After leaving his role as Reds boss last summer, Klopp became Red Bull's head of global soccer at the start of 2025. He added: 'I have serious fears that players will suffer injuries they've never had before next season. If not next season, then it will happen at the World Cup or afterwards. 'We constantly expect the players to go into every game as if it were their last. We tell them that 70 or 75 times a year. But it can't go on like this. 'We have to make sure they have breaks, because if they don't get them, they won't be able to deliver top performances – and if they can't achieve that any more, the entire product loses value.'
