Newcastle agree £32m deal with Southampton for Livramento

Newcastle are set to add Southampton defender Tino Livramento to fellow summer signings Harvey Barnes and Sandro Tonali at St James' Park after agreeing a £32m fee.

Newcastle will pay that initial sum, with further performance-related add-ons on top.

Sky Sports News understands Southampton are satisfied that they have received their valuation of Livramento in a package they believe could rise to £40m.

Last week we reported Southampton were not offering any discounts on their players despite relegation to the Premier League.

Saints have stood firm on their valuations, selling Mohamed Salisu to Monaco for £17.2m, and rejecting further offers for James Ward-Prowse and Romeo Lavia from West Ham and Liverpool respectively.
