Man City are planning to sign a new right-back next summer, and their top target continues to be Newcastle's Tino Livramento. The 23-year-old, who returned to action against Pep Guardiola's side on Saturday, could be in for a 2026 move to Manchester, although that would depend on whether he pens a new contract at St James' Park. Livramento is out of contract in 2028, and in preparation of him entering the final 2.5 years of this deal,
Barnes was guilty of missing some glorious chances in the first half, but he was on the money in the 63rd minute with a brilliant first-time finish past Gianluigi Donnarumma's dive. But Newcastle's joy was short-lived when Ruben Dias found the net with the aid of a deflection five minutes later, though St James' Park was bouncing in double quick time.
There's one in the first half with Phil, I feel like they were saying it was very clear. Out of all the decisions, it's the second goal. I think we need to make it make sense, because where's the sense in their player pushing our goalkeeper outside the goal? What are we allowing, and for how long? Sometimes you allow it, sometimes you don't. Where's the rule? What can you actually do?
Arsenal and Manchester City are interested in signing the highly talented Spanish prospect Rodrigo Mendoza. The Elche midfielder could be on his way to North London during the January transfer window. Arsenal are prepared to make a move for the 20-year-old, according to Italian outlet Il Messaggero. The player is reportedly on the radar of Real Madrid and Juventus as well.
When Alyssa Thompson fired in a superb ninth-minute opener, Chelsea looked on course for another routine win. However, Liverpool's defence held firm and the Reds levelled in the 33rd minute and held out until half-time. The Chelsea manager, Sonia Bompastor, introduced further attacking options in the second half, including Lauren James and Aggie Beever-Jones, but a solid defensive display from Liverpool ensured Chelsea were unable to find a winner as the hosts earned their second point of the season.
Hemp scored a brilliant third goal for Andree Jeglertz's team in first-half stoppage time, firing home from range after Rebecca Knaak and Khadija Shaw had got on the scoresheet. The England international was back in City's starting lineup after missing around a month and a half with an ankle injury, and she laid on three chances for her team-mates. Only Viviane Miedema (four) created more, with the Netherlands international also the only player to contest more duels than Hemp's 11, with 13.
Tijjani Reijnders has admitted that he was 'surprised' to learn how much Manchester City paid to sign him from AC Milan. Reijnders was the big sale that Milan made in the summer as he joined Manchester City for an initial fee of €57m which can rise to over €70m with bonuses. He has amassed 18 appearances already this season and has racked up six goal contributions under Pep Guardiola.
Manchester City defender Nathan Ake is said to be 'bothered' by his situation at the Etihad Stadium. The Netherlands international has started just one Premier League game so far this season, with manager Pep Guardiola choosing to often partner Ruben Dias with Josko Gvardiol at the heart of his defence. Ake has since been called up to represent the Netherlands during the November international break, but has made it clear he is not best pleased with his situation under Guardiola at Manchester City.
