Chelsea sacrifice huge windfall chance with shock transfer U-turn to give Newcastle £39m blow

Chelsea have entered talks with Southampton to re-sign former academy star Tino Livramento after Newcastle made a summer approach for the 20-year-old. Without making a single senior appearance, Livramento departed Stamford Bridge in 2021 to seal a £5 million transfer to the Saints and he could now be on the move again.

During his first season on the south coast he was an instant hit, but in April of that campaign disaster struck when he severely damaged his ACL. A long and testing recovery process saw the right-back play just 26 minutes of Premier League last season as as Southampton were relegated to the Championship.

Despite a turbulent 15 months, Livramento could make an instant return to England's top flight. As first revealed by the Telegraph, Newcastle entered advanced talks with Southampton in June to sign him this summer.
