Tino Livramento in Newcastle New Deal Talks After Summer Sale Fears

Tino Livramento is in talks over a new Newcastle deal after being viewed as the club’s most likely summer sale. That shift matters because Newcastle had expected a difficult window after missing out on Europe, and the 23-year-old was one of the players linked with a move away.

Newcastle’s summer plan

Newcastle had told wantaway players to sort out their futures before the start of the World Cup, and Livramento’s situation now sits at the center of that process. He joined from Southampton for €37 million in 2023 and has a contract set to run to 2028, so any deal would alter the club’s approach to one of its most valuable assets.

Lee Ryder said Livramento is now in talks over signing a new deal. Arsenal and Manchester City had shown interest, and FootballTransfers has been told Arsenal held positive talks with his representatives. Newcastle are likely to demand in excess of €50 million if they do decide to sell, which raises the bar for any club trying to move quickly.

Injury and selection pressure

The contract picture comes against a season that never settled for him physically. Livramento went off injured against Bournemouth last month and was ruled out for the remainder of the campaign after returning from another eight-week layoff only one month earlier.

He made just 17 league appearances this season and has five caps since his England debut two years ago. Newcastle still need a new full-back this summer to replace Kieran Trippier, and Lewis Miley has impressed at right-back in Livramento’s absence, leaving Eddie Howe with a clearer look at one position and a sharper decision on another.

For Newcastle, the immediate issue is whether they now treat Livramento as part of the long-term plan rather than one of the players to move on. For the player, the next step is simple: a new contract would end the summer-sale talk, while a sale would force the club to test the €50 million-plus market against the interest already on the table.
