This road is not open? Times: Newcastle plans to renew Liframento for six years just in case Manchester City buys

In order to prevent Manchester City's interest in Liframento, Newcastle intends to renew the contract with the player for six years, making him one of the club's highest-paid players, according to the Times.

Liframento's current contract will last until 2028, and he is Manchester City's transfer target. Guardiola attaches great importance to players and can play as a full-back on both sides.

Manchester City intends to pay £65m for the players, but Newcastle is eager to stop any speculation about him as their striker Isaac has already had a tough summer over transfer rumors.

It is reported that Newcastle's new contract for Livramento will make him one of the highest-paid players on the team. Players are also eager to raise contract terms.

Liframento gradually grew into one of the top defenders in the Premier League and played a major role in the League Cup final victory over Liverpool. Like Isaac, he didn't make the preseason roster where Newcastle lost 0-4 to the Celtics, but that was because he had just participated in the U21 national team and received an extended holiday.

Liframento is 22 years old this year, and the player's current value is 40 million euros.
