The Story in 60 Seconds

Angus Sinclair of Football FanCast argues that Newcastle United should look to sell full-back Tino Livramento in 2027. Sinclair points out that despite Livramento's acknowledged talent, recurring fitness issues and limited availability make cashing in on the 23-year-old a sensible option for manager Matthias Jaissle's rebuilding squad.

Livramento has been limited to just two substitute appearances this season and is sidelined until late November after sustaining a training-ground knee injury. The column highlights that Arsenal previously showed strong interest in a prospective £70 million deal, suggesting Newcastle could fund future defensive reinforcements following the summer arrival of Amar Dedic.
