Arsenal have been told that Newcastle United will demand around £60 million to sell Tino Livramento this summer.
Arsenal are looking to sign a new right-back in the summer to bolster their options in defence, and the Newcastle man is a key target.
Finish the sentence: The most Arsenal should pay to sign Tino Livramento is £__m
Ben White is set to leave Arsenal after five years at the club, which is why the Gunners are assessing the full-back market and have turned to Livramento.
£60 million for a right-back would be a considerable investment for the North London club, and it will be interesting to see whether they would be willing to go that high.
Arsenal quoted £60 million for Tino Livramento
Newcastle United are making it clear that Tino Livramento will cost £60 million in the summer, according to The Telegraph.
The Tyneside club could be forced to sell the defender, who has so far been unwilling to sign a new deal at St James’ Park.
The 23-year-old’s current deal at Newcastle runs until 2027, and they have been desperately trying to get him to commit his future to a new contract.
Livramento would jump at the chance to sign for Arsenal, although the Gunners will need to decide whether they would be willing to invest so much in him.
Despite still being quite young, the defender already has 108 Premier League appearances to his name and is considered one of the division’s top full-backs.
Tell us what you think about Tino Livramento being a replacement for Ben White
Manchester City are showing an interest in White, and the sale of the 28-year-old could help fund their move to sign the Newcastle player.
Mikel Arteta’s squad needs another right-back to replace White, as the Spanish coach clearly no longer trusts him.
Jurrien Timber has been run into the ground at the Emirates Stadium, and they cannot afford for the same to happen again next season.
Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon will both cost £100m
Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon have also been linked with moves to Arsenal, but both players are expected to cost at least £100 million.
Arteta is a big fan of Gordon, and the Gunners have been tipped to make their move for the England international as they look for a new attacker.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have kept monitoring Tonali’s situation ahead of the summer transfer window, but they could face strong competition from Manchester United.
All three Newcastle players are set to be available come the summer, but it is highly unlikely that the Gunners will land the trio.
