Tino Livramento has quickly established himself as one of Newcastle United’s brightest young stars, and his name is beginning to attract serious attention across Europe.
Despite the club’s slow start to the Premier League season, Livramento’s performances have been one of the few positives for Eddie Howe’s side.
Now, with speculation surrounding his future, it appears that both the player and the club are eager to continue their journey together for the long term.
Newcastle’s campaign so far has been a frustrating one. After losing 2-1 to Brighton on October 18, the Magpies have managed just two wins from their opening eight league fixtures, a run that has seen them drop to 13th in the table. Injuries, inconsistent form, and missed chances have all played their part in Newcastle’s early struggles.
Yet, through it all, Livramento has continued to impress. His composure, speed, and defensive awareness have earned him widespread praise, both within St James’ Park and from pundits watching across the country.
The young right-back’s determination and adaptability have not gone unnoticed. After suffering a worrying injury in the clash against Arsenal, many feared the worst when he was stretchered off. Thankfully, medical assessments later confirmed there was no long-term damage.
That relief was shared by fans and staff alike, as Livramento’s importance to the team continues to grow with every performance.
Football Insider revealed in September that Newcastle are preparing to offer Livramento a new contract as a reward for his commitment and progress since joining the club.
Sources close to the player suggest that he is happy in the North East and feels deeply valued by Howe and his coaching staff. Former Manchester United and Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown, who remains well-connected in football circles, has also confirmed that Livramento has no desire to leave Newcastle any time soon.
Brown spoke highly of the 21-year-old, highlighting his attitude and professionalism. “Livramento has earned all the plaudits he gets,” he said. “He’s worked incredibly hard to become part of that Newcastle side despite his injuries.
He’s the kind of player who will step up wherever he’s needed and never lets his team down. His progress since joining Newcastle has been remarkable. He’s built a strong relationship with Eddie Howe, and that trust has helped him grow as both a player and a person.”
The scout went on to say that, although top European clubs are beginning to take notice, Livramento’s focus remains firmly on Newcastle. “Of course, when a player performs at that level, interest is inevitable,” Brown admitted.
“But from what I hear, he’s happy at Newcastle. If a new deal is offered, I expect he’ll be keen to sign it. It’s the best outcome for everyone Newcastle get to keep a fantastic young defender, and he gets to continue developing at a club that believes in him.”
Reports suggest that Newcastle would not consider any offers below £80 million for Livramento, underlining how highly they value him.
The club’s stance is firm: they have no intention of letting one of their most promising assets leave. For Newcastle, keeping hold of key players like Livramento is vital as they look to rebuild momentum and reassert themselves as a top-six contender.
However, competition for the player’s signature could intensify in the coming years. Manchester City have been linked with Livramento since early summer, with Pep Guardiola believed to be an admirer of his technical ability and defensive intelligence.
Following Kyle Walker’s recent move to Burnley, City have been left light at right-back, forcing Guardiola to use Matheus Nunes as a temporary solution. Sources have confirmed that City still view Livramento as a long-term target, and while a transfer is unlikely in the near future, their interest is far from over.
That looming threat from the Etihad has reportedly pushed Newcastle to speed up negotiations over a new contract. The club wants to secure Livramento’s long-term commitment before rival teams make their move.
For now, though, the player’s focus remains on contributing to the team’s turnaround and helping the Magpies climb the Premier League table.
Livramento’s story so far at Newcastle has been one of resilience and steady progress. From overcoming injuries to earning his place as a reliable starter, he has proven his worth time and again.
His attitude, humility, and drive have made him a fan favourite and a symbol of the club’s future ambitions. While interest from top clubs like Manchester City may be flattering, everything suggests that Tino Livramento sees his immediate future at St James’ Park where he continues to thrive under Eddie Howe’s guidance and the passionate support of Newcastle fans.
