Newcastle United are moving into pole position to sign Tino Livramento this summer.
The right-back, who was hugely impressive in the 2021/2022 season before suffering a knee injury, is being sold after the club's relegation.
Per The Mail, the Magpies are locked in talks with the Saints for the England Under-21 star.
There is still a way to go, with Southampton wanting around 25 million and Newcastle offering 15 million.
However, there is optimism that a deal can be done, with Livramento excited about the prospect of playing Champions League football.
The Magpies are focusing on building a young and exciting team this summer.
