Manchester City Are Still Keen On Signing This Newcastle United Defender: Should Pep Snap Him Up?
Speaking on the Transfers from Paradise podcast, journalist Dean Jones mentioned that Manchester City are still keen on signing Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento this summer. Jones said, 'They (Manchester City) haven't made a bid for Livramento, but they're definitely persisting with their interest behind-the-scenes. They won't make a bid unless they know it will be successful or open a conversation that leads to success. They know that Newcastle don't want to sell the player, so their first job is to turn the player's head and then make sure they have the figures to get him out of there.' Livramento's Good Run Of Form In The Premier League Livramento had a solid campaign at the Tyneside club after he put in a string of impressive displays for them in the Premier League. The English right-back made 45 appearances for Newcastle last season, securing one assist in the process across all competitions. The 22-year-old performed his defensive responsibilities well and deserves a lot of credit for making 54 tackles, 37 blocks and 23 interceptions in the Premier League. He even distributed possession in the opponent's half after completing 85.4% of his attempted passes in the top tier of English football (stats via NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, ENGLAND – MAY 25: Newcastle player Tino Livramento in action during the Premier League match between Newcastle United FC and Everton FC at St James' Park on May 25, 2025 in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. (Photo by) Should Manchester City Boss Pep Guardiola Snap Livramento Up This Summer? Livramento is a good tackler of the ball and can sense the danger well to earn the ball back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when required and can even create the odd chance for his teammates to score. However, the English talent needs to add some goals to his game. Livramento mainly plays as a right-back but can also function as a left-back if told to do so. He already knows the Premier League well and won't take much time to adjust to life at the Mancunian club. Livramento would no doubt enhance the quality of Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola's defence. He has what it takes to fight for regular first-team football at the Etihad Stadium next season. At 22, Livramento has the potential to be a world-class player in his position someday. Thus, Guardiola would be wise to go all out to snap him up before the end of this transfer period.

Edinburgh theatre company brings two exciting new shows to the Fringe
Arbery Theatre returns to the 2025 Fringe with two new plays that will entertain and challenge audiences. First up is A Pound of Flesh, a version of Shakespeare's classic The Merchant of Venice, which upturns the original plot and ends in tragedy. That is followed by Transfers - eight short scenes weaving backwards and forwards in time, following £500 as it passes from person to person in an endless loop.

Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Eleven actors, from seasoned professionals to relative newcomers make up the cast of these very different plays. While A Pound of Flesh uses Shakespeare's original text and words and imagery in his style - "My soul bewitched by young Bassanio, three long days and longer nights his absence hath endured" - Transfers is very much set in modern-day Britain. In the second play men and women suddenly find themselves £500 richer. How did it come to them? What will they do with the money now they have got it? A Pound of Flesh is written and directed by Martin Foreman, whose work first appeared at the Fringe in 2014. Leading the cast of Transfers is director Michael Robert-Brown, whose professional acting career began in 2018. Among the cast are Ollie Hiemann, last seen as Jack in Jack and the Beanstalk in Portobello Town Hall, Shakespeare veteran Danielle Farrow in her first outing as Shylock, and Dunbar-based Kirsten Maguire in a moving role in Transfers.

Tickets available through the Fringe box office or on the door.

Napoli Have ‘Abandoned' Move to Sign Liverpool's Darwin Nunez
Liverpool Transfers: Reds Dealt Major Darwin Nunez Blow After Setting Hefty Price Tag Despite already signing five players already this summer and spending over £200million, Liverpool's next wave of transfer activity now depends on outgoings. Advertisement Trent Alexander-Arnold, Caoimhin Kelleher and Jarell Quansah have all secured moves away this summer already and more are expected to follow. Harvey Elliott is expected to leave if a bid meets Liverpool's £45million valuation of the midfielder, whilst the futures of Andy Robertson, Ibou Konate, Tyler Morton, Federico Chiesa and Luis Diaz all remain uncertain. Darwin Nunez is also expected to leave this summer too. Fabrizio Romano has regularly reported that a move away from Anfield is 'guaranteed' this summer. Liverpool have been locked in negotiations with Napoli over a move for the Uruguayan striker, but according to reports that deal could now be off. Advertisement Napoli 'Abandon' Nunez Pursuit According to Sky Sports, the Italian side have 'abandoned' their move to sign the 26-year-old due to the 'excessive costs' in the deal. Just days ago, Liverpool had rejected an offer worth around £47.5million for Nunez and were reportedly holding out for a fee closer to the £60million mark. However, their asking price is seemingly too much for Napoli, who have now switched their attentions to a £30million move to sign Lorenzo Lucca instead. Liverpool even rejected a £70million offer from Saudi Arabia back in January, but can now only hope that such move comes back around this summer. Atletico Madrid have also been interested in Nunez, but their interest has cooled in recent weeks. Advertisement Looking Ahead A new centre-forward was a priority for Liverpool this summer but after already spending £200million this summer, you'd think that Nunez's exit is crucial in any move for a striker this summer. Eintracht Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike is perhaps the likeliest option to bolster Liverpool's frontline, but will likely cost around the £70million mark himself. Links to Newcastle United's Alexander Isak remain present, but that deal would likely cost more than double that of a move for Ekitike and the Magpies maintain their stance that the Swedish forward is not for sale. I'd still expect Nunez to move on this summer, but what once seemed like a straight forward move is slowly becoming more and more complicated.
