Newcastle United has reached a £40 million agreement with Southampton for the transfer of right-back Tino Livramento, which includes additional performance-based payments. The 20-year-old defender originally joined Southampton from Chelsea in 2021 for £5 million.
Livramento’s move to Newcastle comes after Southampton faced relegation from the Premier League in the previous season. Unfortunately, the young England Under-21 player had a setback during the last term due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury he suffered in April 2022. As a result, he could only make two appearances as a substitute in Southampton’s final two games against Brighton and Liverpool.
During the 2021-2022 season, Livramento showed promise, featuring in 32 games, out of which 28 were in the Premier League.
In their efforts to build a competitive squad and build on their top-four finish from the previous season, Newcastle has been busy in the summer transfer window, acquiring Italy midfielder Sandro Tonali and England winger Harvey Barnes.
Newcastle’s Premier League campaign for the new season will begin on 12th August when they host Aston Villa.

£40m hurts, but Southmpton had to sell after relegation. Livramnto’s a talent, gonna miss him. Best of luck to him at Newcastle.
As a Man Utd fan, it hurts seein’ Newcastle makin’ good signings. Tonali & Barnes too?! They’ll be a force next season for sure.
