Newcastle United are said to have reached a “stalemate” in their pursuit of Southampton youngster Valentino Livramento this summer.
The Saints’ £8,000-a-week right-back has been a significant transfer target for the Magpies in the current transfer window, having impressed since joining from Chelsea in 2021.
Unfortunately, Livramento’s 2022/23 season was cut short due to a cruciate ligament injury, which limited him to just 26 minutes of Premier League play, but he was a regular prior to that, recording 34 appearances for the south coast club.
While it appeared that the Southampton starlet would end up at St James’ Park this summer, competing with Kieran Trippier, a bad update has emerged.
