Valentino Livramento would reportedly prefer a move to Newcastle United over Chelsea, who are keen to re-sign the right-back for £40 million.
According to Daily Mail, Valentino Livramento would ideally like to sign for Newcastle United over Chelsea if presented with those options. The Southampton man is not overly pushing for a move away from Southampton but will consider a big move back to the Premier League. The Blues have a £40 million buyback clause to re-sign the youngster.
Valentino Livramento was considered one of the brightest prospects following an impressive first season with Southampton in 2021/22. The 20-year-old impressed under Ralph Hasenhuttl and soon fell on the radars of many top clubs.
Livramento is being eyed as a future versatile right-back with the characteristics to invert in that role. Such a trait could prove useful for many top managers increasingly adopting that role. Livramento missed most of the previous season with a serious knee injury but has returned to full fitness.
Newcastle United have monitored his situation, with Eddie Howe keen to bring a new right-back to compete with Kieran Trippier. The Magpies will also play Champions League football, which will require good depth in each position,
