- Arsenal and Manchester City will compete for Tino Livramento’s signature at the end of this season

Premier League Rivals Eye Versatile Newcastle Defender
Arsenal are closely tracking Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento ahead of a potential summer transfer, with Manchester City expected to provide strong competition for his services once the current campaign concludes. The 23-year-old full-back is regarded as one of Newcastle’s key assets by manager Eddie Howe, who is mindful of his value and reluctant to approve any cut-price exit.

Contract Situation and Valuation
A price tag in excess of £60million was established for Livramento during the previous year, but at the end of this season the player will have two years remaining on his current contract. Livramento stated in December that he had yet to hold discussions regarding a new agreement, yet securing his long-term future is reported to be a priority for the club’s executives at St. James’ Park.
| Player | Current Club | Position | Contract Years Remaining (at season end) | Appearances for Club | Goals for Club | Reported Asking Price (£) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tino Livramento | Newcastle United | Full-back | 2 | 98 | 1 | 60,000,000+ |
Arsenal Strengthen Defensive Options
Mikel Arteta continues to seek reinforcements in defence, even with Jurrien Timber flourishing at right-back. The search comes in light of Myles Lewis-Skelly’s difficulties this season, and Livramento’s capability to operate on both flanks enhances his appeal as a target.
Despite last summer’s significant spend of £241m, Arsenal are not forecast to be active in the January transfer market, a stance that further shapes their interest in summer business.
Manchester City Maintain Long-Term Interest
Manchester City’s interest in Livramento remains longstanding, and Pep Guardiola’s side are considered serious contenders as the race for the defender’s signature intensifies heading into the next campaign.
Transfer History and International Career
Livramento transferred to Newcastle from Southampton in the summer of 2023 for £30m, and has since amassed 98 appearances and scored one goal for the Magpies. Prior to that, Southampton signed him from Chelsea for £4m in 2021, a deal which included a sizeable sell-on clause for the Blues. Livramento made his senior England debut in November 2024 and has earned three caps at the senior level to date.
