Faster than Walker?: Man City target Kyle’s successor as two-man transfer list revealed
Kyle Walker began the 2024/25 season as Man City captain but struggled for form, leading to his January loan move to AC Milan. The Rossoneri have an option to make the deal permanent, and it seems unlikely Walker will return to the Etihad.
City, having secured four new signings in January, are prioritizing a squad overhaul, with a particular focus on strengthening the full-back position. The Blues are reportedly targeting Newcastle’s Tino Livramento as Walker’s replacement.

Livramento, who made his England debut in 2024, is seen as an ideal candidate due to his pace — he’s even faster than Walker, clocking a top speed of 35.26 km/h compared to Walker’s 33.6 km/h.
Here’s an example of his speed.
City are also monitoring Juventus’ Andrea Cambiaso, with a possible €60-65 million deal on the cards for the summer, and Crystal Palace’s Daniel Munoz has emerged as a surprise contender for the right-back spot.
