Tino Livramento

Valentino Francisco "Tino" Livramento (born 12 November 2002) is an English professional footballer who plays as a full-back for Premier League club Newcastle United.

Born in Croydon, Livramento joined Chelsea at under-9 level from local club Roundshaw.

At Roundshaw he played as a striker.

Growing up, he supported Chelsea.

His father's side of the family comes from Portugal and his mother is Scottish.

He was named Chelsea academy player of the year for the 2020–21 season.

Towards the end of the season, Livramento featured on the bench in Premier League fixtures against Manchester City and Arsenal.

In July 2021, contract talks between Chelsea and Livramento stalled, with rumours that the wing-back was set to leave the club.

He was reportedly subject to interest from a host of English clubs, including South Coast rivals Southampton and Brighton & Hove Albion, as well as A.C. Milan and RB Leipzig.

Having failed to reach an agreement with Chelsea, Livramento signed for fellow Premier League side Southampton in August 2021, with a reported buy-back and sell-on clauses included.

On 14 August 2021, Livramento made his first Premier League appearance for Southampton in a 3–1 defeat to Everton.

On 23 October 2021, Livramento scored his first professional goal in Southampton's 2–2 draw with Burnley.

On 24 April 2022, Livramento was ruled out for the remainder of 2022 following an ACL injury during Southampton’s 2–2 draw with Brighton.

On 21 May 2023, Livramento made his first appearance for Southampton in 392 days during a 3–1 defeat to Brighton, replacing James Bree in the 77th minute.

On 8 August 2023, Livramento joined Newcastle United, signing a five-year contract.

Although the fee was officially undisclosed, it was reported to be worth an initial £32 million, plus £8 million in add-ons.

Livramento made his debut for Newcastle in a 1-0 defeat against Manchester City in the Premier League.

He made his UEFA Champions League debut against Borussia Dortmund, starting Newcastle's final 3 group stage matches, however they were unable to progress from their group.

Livramento scored his first goal for the club in a 3-0 victory against Wolves, running the length of the pitch before poking it under the goalkeeper.

Despite Livramento representing England through the youth ranks up to Under-21 level, he is also eligible to play for the Scotland and Portugal national teams through his mother being Scottish and his father being Portuguese.

On 27 August 2021, Livramento received his first call up for the England U21s.

On 7 September 2021, he made his England U21 debut during the 2–0 2023 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualification win over Kosovo U21s at Stadium MK.
