Southampton confirms Tino Livramento's departure to join Newcastle for £40m.
Newcastle United is overwhelmed to announce the completion of signing Tino Livramento from Southampton for a transfer fee of £40m with add-ons in this summer transfer window.
Livramento is set to undergo a medical after agreeing to a long-term contract.
The 20-year-old has been left out of the Southampton squad that has travelled to Sheffield Wednesday for Friday’s Championship opener at Hillsborough.
Newcastle are hoping to strengthen their defence considerably and they are looking to move for a central defender after securing the services of Livramento.
The full-back will become Eddie Howe's third summer signing, following Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes.
Livramento signed for Southampton from Chelsea in the summer of 2021 for £5m.
An ACL injury suffered in April 2022 prematurely ended what had been an impressive breakout season and consigned the England U21 international to more than a year out on the sidelines.
Livramento returned to action 392 days later against Brighton at the Amex - the same venue he picked up the injury - off the bench as one of two substitute appearances he made last season.
He came on as a substitute in Southampton's final two games of campaign against Brighton and Liverpool.
Livramento played 32 games during the 2021-22 season, 28 of those in the Premier League.
