Manchester City transfer news: Pep Guardiola wanted to sign £105m Newcastle United duo ...Middle East

After a difficult 2024/25 season, Manchester City invested heavily in the summer transfer window to strengthen their squad. However, the English club missed out on a double deal worth £105m.

Close to £175m was spent by Manchester City this summer to bolster their squad, with major signings including Gianluigi Donnarumma, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Rayan Cherki. So far, the results have not been satisfactory. The Sky Blues are only ninth in the Premier League after five matches.

Manchester City are already eight points behind league leaders Liverpool. That gap might have been smaller if the Citizens had pulled off a £105m  coup. According to Newcastle-focused outlet Geordie Boot Boys, Manchester City attempted to sign both Tino Livramento and Bruno Guimaraes this summer.

Manchester City blocked for two Newcastle stars

Frequently linked with the Etihad Stadium over recent months, the English right-back is valued at €40m (£35m), while the Brazilian midfielder, a long-term target, is priced at €80m (£70m). Newcastle, however, were unwilling to sell, especially after also losing Alexander Isak. The Magpies, competing in the Champions League, could not afford to lose two more starters. While discussions took place, nothing materialised for Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola is a huge admirer of Bruno Guimaraes. However, the Spanish manager is not alone in his interest; Barcelona also covet the former Lyon player but were unsuccessful in the pursuit. As for Tino Livramento, he is on the rise and recently made his England debut. Newcastle are unlikely to rule out another approach next summer, with City expected to prepare an even bigger offer.
