Newcastle United faces an important decision over Tino Livramento’s long-term future, with two Premier League giants monitoring the defender and his contract situation as he moves closer to his final two years under it.
Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke reported that Arsenal and Manchester City are both tracking Livramento, having previously seen Newcastle block outside attempts to sign the England international.
“The pair are both long-term admirers of the 23-year-old, and they have continued to ‘monitor’
him this season,” O’Rourke reported.
Newcastle’s preference remains to keep Livramento and secure him on a new contract. His current deal runs until the summer of 2028, but O’Rourke reported that the club may eventually have to consider a sale if talks fail to progress.
“Sources say that the Magpies will reluctantly look to sell the England international next summer, if they cannot progress towards a new deal between now and then,” O’Rourke wrote.
Livramento has endured another injury-disrupted campaign, making only 33 minutes of Premier League action this season and failing to feature in a matchday squad since September 14. He started only 14 league matches last season, with his shaky health the main reason in favor of sanctioning a sale.
Despite those setbacks, Newcastle reportedly remains convinced of his quality, with O’Rourke adding that the Magpies “would love” to agree fresh terms with Livramento.
Should Newcastle prioritize a new Livramento deal now, or consider selling if no agreement is reached before next summer? Share your thoughts in the comments.
