Newcastle United are now facing an uphill battle in their attempts to sign Southampton right-back Tino Livramento. The 20-year-old has attracted interest from a host of Premier League clubs following the Saints' recent relegation but the south coast outfit are holding out for a significant fee this summer.
Southampton bought Livramento for a mere £8m in 2021 but are hoping to recoup north of £30m for his signature this summer. Chronicle Live understands the Magpies are unwilling to meet such a valuation and could walk away from a deal in the coming days.
Newcastle see the youngster as the perfect backup for Kieran Trippier, with Livramento once seen as England's future right-back before an anterior cruciate ligament left him sidelined for over a year. The full-back returned to action last month and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him make a swift return to the top flight.
