Southampton man Livramento has been subject of persistent interest from Newcastle United and up until this point, the Saints had been holding firm
The club have remained strong when it comes to player valuations this summer, showing that they’re in a good enough position to hold onto prized assets like Livramento, James Ward-Prowse and Romeo Lavia despite relegation.
Now though, after it emerged that the 20-year-old defender had not travelled for tomorrow’s Championship curtain raiser against Sheffield Wednesday, it has been reported that Newcastle have finally agreed a deal for Livramento.
