📰 Livramento Shuts Down Transfer Talk: ‘I’m Here to Build a Legacy at Newcastle’…

 

By Northern Echo Sport | June 21, 2025

Newcastle United defender Tino Livramento has put an emphatic end to swirling transfer rumours, declaring his commitment to the Magpies in a powerful statement that has thrilled fans and silenced speculation.

The 22-year-old full-back, who joined Newcastle from Southampton in 2023, had recently been linked with a sensational move to Manchester City, following weeks of reported interest from Pep Guardiola’s side. However, Livramento has now broken his silence with a firm message:

“I’m not going anywhere. I didn’t come here for a stepping stone—I came here to build something special. I’m here to build a legacy at Newcastle.”

In an exclusive interview with club media during England U21 duty, Livramento credited manager Eddie Howe for his development and praised the club’s direction.

“Eddie has been key for me. He trusts young players, he gives us confidence, and he’s building a team that believes it can win titles. Why would I walk away from that?”

Livramento was instrumental in Newcastle’s successful 2024–25 campaign, helping the club secure Champions League qualification and lift the Carabao Cup—their first domestic trophy in over 70 years. His performances on both flanks have made him a fan favourite and a fixture in England’s U21 squad.

🛑 Transfer Links Dead in the Water

Manchester City were reportedly preparing a £60 million bid for the former Chelsea academy graduate, but Newcastle’s stance has remained firm: Livramento is not for sale.

A club insider told Northern Echo:

“He’s one of our core players. Eddie [Howe] sees him as a future captain. We’ve had no discussions, and we won’t.”

⚫⚪ A Future at St. James’ Park

Livramento’s words have sparked celebration across the Toon Army, with fans flooding social media with support:

“@GeordieFaithful: Legend in the making. We back you, Tino!”
“@NUFCForever: A player who gets it. That’s the Newcastle spirit.”

With a long-term contract in place and no desire to leave, Livramento’s focus is now set on pre-season preparations and a return to Europe’s biggest stage.

“We’ve made progress. Now it’s time to go further—Champions League nights at St. James’? That’s the dream. I want to be part of every moment.”

⸻

Verdict:
In an era of fleeting loyalty and quick transfers, Tino Livramento’s vow to stay and build at Newcastle United stands out—a rare blend of ambition, belief, and commitment to the badge.
