Newcastle United have reportedly set an asking price of as much as £80m for the potential transfer of full-back Tino Livramento this summer.
The 22-year-old has impressed during his time at St James’ Park, having previously also been highly regarded when he was in Chelsea’s academy earlier in his career.
It could now be that Livramento will earn himself another big move as Manchester City have strongly targeted him this summer.
However, it may be that Livramento will be too expensive as Newcastle are said to be demanding as much as £80m to let him go, according to Football Insider.

Newcastle will surely do what they can to keep this important player, as Livramento is not the kind of name they’ll want to see strengthening a top four rival.
Still, it’s surely not beyond Man City to spend £80m on a new player, though they’ve already had a pretty busy start to the summer.
Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Ait-Nouri have moved to the Etihad Stadium, so one or two player sales might be required to afford Livramento.
It’s also possible, however, that £80m will be deemed too much for Livramento, and that cheaper alternatives might be preferable.

Eddie Howe will surely hope that Livramento is another key part of his squad who will end up staying put for next season.
