Tino Livramento: Newcastle, England & Career Record
Tino Livramento is an England international full-back who plays for Newcastle United. The Croydon-born defender is naturally right-sided but has also played on the left, including in Newcastle’s 2025 Carabao Cup final victory. His route to senior football covers Chelsea’s academy, an immediate Premier League breakthrough at Southampton, recovery from a serious knee injury and more than 100 Newcastle appearances.
Livramento was initially selected for England’s 2026 World Cup squad, but he did not play at the tournament. A calf injury in training forced his withdrawal before England’s opening match, and Trevoh Chalobah replaced him. This profile uses official club, federation and competition records so that selection and actual tournament participation are not confused.
Tino Livramento’s current club and contract
Livramento plays for Newcastle United and wears number 21. Newcastle signed him from Southampton on 8 August 2023 for an undisclosed fee. The club’s announcement confirmed a contract through summer 2028, which is the reliable public contract date rather than a third-party estimate.
His Newcastle debut came against Manchester City on 19 August 2023. He scored his first senior goal in a 3-0 home win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in March 2024. On 7 March 2026, a substitute appearance against Manchester City became his 100th competitive Newcastle appearance. That milestone is more useful than an incomplete season table because it comes directly from Newcastle’s match report.

Early football and Chelsea academy development
Livramento started at local grassroots club Roundshaw while growing up in Sutton. He joined Chelsea at under-nine level and progressed through the club’s youth system between 2009 and 2021. Although he did not make a competitive senior appearance for Chelsea, his academy record was substantial rather than a short trial period.
He played mainly as a right-back or wing-back, started every match in Chelsea’s run to the 2020 FA Youth Cup final and contributed to the development squad. During 2020/21 he started 26 of 30 eligible academy matches and logged 2,261 minutes. Chelsea named him its Academy Player of the Year in 2021, following previous winners such as Reece James, Mason Mount and Conor Gallagher.
Livramento trained with Chelsea’s senior group and was named on the bench for Premier League games against Manchester City and Arsenal. He nevertheless chose a permanent move to Southampton in August 2021, prioritising a clearer route to first-team minutes. That decision meant his professional debut arrived away from the club where he had spent most of his childhood.
Southampton breakthrough and ACL recovery
Southampton placed the 18-year-old straight into its starting team. Livramento made 28 Premier League appearances in 2021/22 and quickly showed that his academy strengths could transfer to senior football: acceleration into space, recovery running, one-against-one defending and the confidence to carry the ball beyond an opposing winger.
His first season ended painfully in April 2022. A scan confirmed an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee after he went down against Brighton. Southampton said he had already made 32 first-team appearances that season. Surgery and rehabilitation kept him out of senior football for more than a year, with a hamstring problem during the recovery adding another setback.
He returned first with Southampton’s B team, 355 days after the knee injury, and later made two Premier League substitute appearances near the end of 2022/23. Southampton’s final transfer record credits him with 34 first-team matches across his two seasons. The small second-season total reflects the injury, not a loss of his place through ordinary selection.
Newcastle career and the 100-appearance milestone
Newcastle recruited Livramento after Southampton’s relegation in 2023. His first season included Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League football. He initially shared full-back minutes with more established defenders, but his ability to operate on either side steadily widened his role.
The official Premier League season record lists 26 league appearances and one goal in 2023/24, followed by 37 league appearances in 2024/25. He also played six League Cup matches during the latter campaign. Those figures show the jump from rotation player to a defender used throughout a full domestic season.
The 2025/26 campaign was interrupted by multiple physical problems. A hamstring injury in January kept him out before he returned from the bench in March for appearance number 100. Newcastle’s current profile describes the season as injury-hit, so this page does not turn the milestone into a claim that he was continuously available.
Carabao Cup final role against Liverpool
Livramento started at left-back when Newcastle beat Liverpool 2-1 in the 2025 Carabao Cup final at Wembley. The position was tactically significant: it placed a naturally right-sided defender against Mohamed Salah while Lewis Hall was injured. Newcastle kept its shape, competed aggressively and ended a 70-year wait for a major domestic trophy.
He also contributed to the winning goal. Livramento delivered the cross that Jacob Murphy headed down for Alexander Isak to finish early in the second half. The EFL’s official final report records that sequence. It is a useful example of his two-sided value: defending from the left without abandoning the ability to advance and deliver from that flank.

| 2021–2023 | Southampton | 34 first-team appearances across two seasons |
| 2023/24 | Newcastle United | 26 Premier League appearances; first senior goal |

England debut and senior record
Livramento represented England at under-15, under-16, under-17, under-18, under-19 and under-21 level. His senior debut came at Wembley on 17 November 2024 in a 5-0 Nations League win over the Republic of Ireland. He started at right-back and supplied the cross from which Newcastle teammate Anthony Gordon scored his first England goal.
England Football currently lists six senior caps and no goals. His progression through every major youth age group explains why his senior call-up was a continuation of a long federation pathway rather than a sudden discovery based on a few Newcastle games.
What happened to his 2026 World Cup place?
Thomas Tuchel named Livramento in England’s original 26-player squad for the 2026 World Cup. He trained with the squad in the United States and appeared in England camp content, but a calf injury changed his status before the opening group match.
Livramento sustained the injury in training on Sunday 14 June. A scan and medical assessment the following day concluded that he could play no further part in the tournament. England announced Trevoh Chalobah as his replacement, using the FIFA rule that allowed an injured outfield player to be replaced up to 24 hours before the opening fixture.
Therefore, the accurate summary is: selected in the original World Cup squad, then withdrawn injured before England played. He did not earn a World Cup appearance. England later used defenders including Noni Madueke’s Arsenal teammate options elsewhere in the team, while experienced squad figures such as Jordan Henderson remained available. Selection should not be presented as tournament participation.
Playing style and positional versatility
Livramento is a modern full-back whose game begins with pace but is not limited to straight-line running. He can receive close to the touchline, carry past the first defender and continue into the final third. When Newcastle builds from the back, he can hold width or step inside briefly to create a passing lane for a midfielder.
Defensively, recovery speed helps him protect space behind an advanced winger. His strongest side is the right, where his body angle naturally opens the pitch for forward carries, but he has enough balance and defensive awareness to play left-back. The cup final showed that the left-sided role can work in a high-pressure match rather than only as an emergency substitution.
Injury management remains part of his career context. The ACL recovery demonstrated resilience, while the hamstring and calf problems in 2025/26 show why availability should be reported from current club updates rather than assumed. At 23, his profile still combines established Premier League experience with room to develop decision-making and end product.

Salary and net worth: verified information only
Newcastle published Livramento’s contract end date but did not publish his weekly salary. His private assets, liabilities, investments and commercial agreements are also not available through audited public records. This profile therefore does not state a wage or net-worth estimate as fact.
Transfer valuations and salary-database figures can change without a transaction or club disclosure. For readers tracking his football career, the dependable financial fact is that Newcastle signed him for an undisclosed fee on a contract running through summer 2028.
