Arsenal Eye Livramento Amid Tottenham Captain’s Uncertain Future

Arsenal are reportedly poised to challenge Manchester City in the pursuit of Newcastle United full-back Tino Livramento. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur captain and defender Cristian Romero’s future at the club appears increasingly uncertain.

Livramento, 23, is contracted to Newcastle until 2028, but discussions regarding a potential extension have reportedly been put on hold. While Newcastle are keen to retain the England international, both Arsenal and Manchester City have been linked with a move, with a potential transfer fee of around £60 million being mooted.

According to Fabrizio Romano, there’s a strong possibility that Tottenham’s Cristian Romero could depart in the coming months. Several top clubs are reportedly inquiring about a transfer, as uncertainty surrounds his long-term future at Spurs, who are currently embroiled in a relegation battle. The Argentina World Cup winner is under contract until 2029, meaning his exit could generate significant funds.

In other news, Arsenal have reportedly held initial discussions with RB Leipzig regarding a potential deal for defender Castello Lukeba, as reported by L’Equipe. The Gunners are said to be among several teams, including Bayern Munich, interested in the 23-year-old France centre-back. Lukeba is contracted to Leipzig until 2029, with the Bundesliga club valuing him at approximately €60 million.
