Chelsea wants sign Tino Livramento from Newcastle

Chelsea are reportedly preparing a £65 million ($88m) summer bid for England international defender Tino Livramento, according to French outlet Media Foot. The right-back, currently starring for Newcastle United, has emerged as one of the most sought-after defensive talents in the Premier League, with interest growing among several top clubs ahead of the 2026–27 season.

Livramento, 23, first came through CHELSEA’s academy before moves to Southampton and later Newcastle, where he has developed into a dynamic full-back known for his pace, defensive acumen and ability to influence play going forward. He has made over 100 senior league appearances and featured in Newcastle’s recent continental fixtures, solidifying his reputation as one of England’s most promising defensive prospects.

Chelsea’s interest comes as part of a broader defensive rebuild, with the west London club keen to reinforce their backline ahead of an anticipated push for honours and Champions League success. Livramento’s blend of physicality, technical skill and tactical versatility fits the profile of defender manager Liam Rosenior is reportedly targeting.

While Chelsea appear ready to table a substantial offer, competition for Livramento’s signature is expected to be fierce. Manchester City have long tracked the right-back and are weighing up a summer move to address that flank, although Newcastle have previously resisted moves and are understood to value him highly.

Newcastle remain keen to keep hold of the England international and are reportedly discussing a contract extension to fend off potential suitors. How the Magpies respond to Chelsea’s reported interest — and whether Livramento would be open to a switch — are likely to be among the most high-profile storylines of the summer transfer market.

Opinion: Why Livramento Might Want Stamford Bridge — and How It Compares to Man City or Man United

For Livramento, a move to Stamford Bridge presents an intriguing career opportunity. CHELSEA offer a platform where he could immediately contest for a starting spot while avoiding being one of many competing stars — something that looms large at clubs like Manchester City and Manchester United.

At Chelsea, Livramento could be at the centre of a defensive project, playing regular Champions League football while shouldering significant responsibility in a team looking to re-establish itself at the top of the European game.

By contrast, a move to Manchester City could mean competing with a deeper, more established roster, potentially limiting his immediate minutes — particularly under a manager with multiple tactical options. Similarly, United’s current defensive inconsistencies might offer playing time, but not the same stability or platform for continental success.

Ultimately, CHELSEA might strike the best balance between development, visibility and silverware aspirations — making it a very attractive destination for Livramento’s next step.
