Newcastle United is keen on bolstering their defense this summer, eyeing Tino Livramento as a potential addition.
In their quest to fortify their defensive ranks ahead of the upcoming season, Newcastle United has set its sights on the highly-regarded Tino Livramento. The 19-year-old Southampton defender finds himself on the radar of the Magpies following his club’s unfortunate relegation.
Sources reveal that Newcastle recently tabled an initial bid in the vicinity of £30 million for the young talent, a figure that Southampton promptly turned down. However, it is understood that Livramento’s market value stands at a lofty £40 million, prompting speculation that further negotiations may be in the offing.
Having graduated from the prestigious Chelsea Academy, Livramento boasts a wealth of potential and promise, making him an attractive prospect for Newcastle’s plans to reinforce their backline. The Magpies’ interest in the player has escalated significantly, with the club’s management demonstrating a persistent desire to secure his services.
Despite their eagerness, Newcastle has already encountered two unsuccessful bids for Livramento, raising questions about their ability to reach a mutually beneficial agreement with Southampton. As the transfer saga unfolds, all eyes will be on how Newcastle’s pursuit of the talented defender unfolds in the coming weeks.
The young Englishman, eager to showcase his abilities on a grand stage, harbors aspirations of competing at the highest level. Newcastle’s recent qualification for the Champions League could play a decisive role in enticing the player to make a move to St. James’ Park.
