Overview
- Negotiations over a new Newcastle contract have paused, with the defender delaying a decision on his future.
- Ex-club executive Keith Wyness says the player’s agent is leveraging reported Manchester City interest to secure a bumper extension.
- Newcastle are seen as open to a sale at the right price, with some reports pointing to a possible January scenario and others to 2026.
- Manager Eddie Howe is reported to rate Livramento highly and wants to keep him as a core piece of his plans.
- Livramento is out with a knee injury until the new year, and City’s use of Matheus Nunes at right-back this season underscores their need in that position.
