Newcastle United will not even pay half of Southampton’s £50 million asking price for Tino Livramento, according to transfer source Dean Jones.
The defender is rumoured to be a target for the Magpies this summer, but Jones insists the club will not spend big money on a right-back.
The Telegraph claimed last month that Newcastle were in advanced talks with Southampton about a potential £15 million transfer for Livramento.
However, the Saints look to want substantially more than that due to a sell-on clause inserted by Chelsea when they sold the 20-year-old to them in 2021.
According to transfer source Dean Jones, Newcastle United will not even pay half of Southampton’s £50 million asking price for Tino Livramento.
The Magpies are rumored to be interested in the defender this summer, but Jones insists the club will not spend large money on a right-back.
According to the Telegraph, Newcastle are in early talks with Southampton about a potential £15 million trade for Livramento.
The Saints, however, appear to demand far more than that due to a sell-on clause placed by Chelsea when they sold the 20-year-old to them in 2021.
Absolutely not. The England U21 international showed that he is a very good full-back, especially going forward, before the serious injury he picked up.
Back in the 2021/22 season, Livramento completed 1.1 dribbles per game, a number that was only bettered by Kyle Walker-Peters on the opposite flank in Southampton’s squad, according to WhoScored. He was also fouled 1.3 times per match, which was the joint-third highest average among his team-mates, showing that the opposition viewed him as a threat.
Nonetheless, £50 million is a lot of money for a young player who hasn’t played in the Premier League in a long time and is currently in the Championship.
In addition, Eddie Howe still possesses Kieran Trippier, who was one of the greatest right-backs in the Premier League last season.
For example, he was in the top 20 tacklers with 71 (per FBref). Trippier is clearly not growing any younger at the age of 32. With that in mind, Livramento could be a decent long-term replacement, but not for £50 million.
