Newcastle United transfer target Tino Livramento will receive a significant wage increase should he choose to swap the south coast for the north east this summer. The Magpies are chasing the 20-year-old's signature but are yet to agree a fee with Southampton, who are holding out for £30m.
Newcastle are so far unwilling to meet their demands, with the two clubs roughly £10m apart in their respective valuations. Livramento only joined Southampton for £5m but continued his meteoric rise before a cruel anterior cruciate ligament injury ruled him out for over a year.
The small transfer fee involved also saw Livramento signed on a low weekly wage. The England under-21 international currently earns less than £10,000-a-week at St Mary's and will be paid far more handsomely at St James' Park.
